I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Are you aware that in Debian's
vocabulary, amd64 just means "64bit version of x86", be it from AMD or
from Intel?  As opposed to i386, which is "32bit version of x86", be it
from AMD or from Intel, for which there are images on
http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/ too.

As of being out of date, it's not the latest version indeed (14th
october), but I'd tend to think that it's recent enough for a USB
drive.  I hope to take the time to generate a newer image corresponding
to the pending-upload beta2 of the main debian installer.
