I suspect he meant specifically x86_64... sure, there's lots of 64 bit
processors that aren't x86 based, including Intel Itanium (ia64), DEC
Alpha/AXP, Sun UltraSparc, HP PA-RISC, IBM Power4/5/6 and PowerPC, etc etc.
There /are/ linux builds for most (all?) of these, but not RHEL/CentOS
distributions.
