The package management backend could always rewrite it to something else
(under control of the DISTRO if need be, so AMD and Intel folks can each
call it their own thing if they want to).

Personally though, I would be tempted just to call it "x64", which is
then nicely symmetric with x32 and doesn't seem likely to collide with
anything else.
