Big bunch of patches entitled "amd64..." Im running an intel processor machine. Should I deny all these patches?
Apparently this question does not meet quality standards and the tool demands more text, so this is more text.

No, you should not deny any of them.
On Linux, amd64 is used to denote 64-bit packages for both AMD and Intel processors. It's just a name convention. It's not processor specific, so go ahead and do all those updates.

AMD was first with 64, so Linux used it. They still use amd64 because no one ever bothered to changed it. – crip659 Mar 15 '21 at 17:05
