CPU architecture labels used by Intel and others can be confusing and have changed over time.
Documentation is installed locally mainly under:
Here's a summary of the labels and directory names commonly used:
$ICC_HOME/Documentation
; '''32, ia32, x86''': legacy 32-bit x86 generations up to ''Pentium 4'' and ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core Intel Core]''
<pre>
; '''em64t''', '''Intel-64''', '''x86_64''', '''AMD-64''': 64-bit generations of the ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Xeon Xeon]'' branded CPUs, and the ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_2 Core 2]'' generation, mostly compatible with AMD's ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opteron Opteron]''
$ ls -F $ICC_HOME/Documentation/en_US
; '''64, ia64''', '''Itanium''': ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itanium Itanium]'' – limited ia32 support, but none for x86_64; ''not used here.''

</pre>


The cce, fce, and idbe directories above provide the 64-bit em64t versions appropriate for the Xeon processors, with ia32 versions being available under cc, fc, idb  to compile and run legacy applications.  By default, the 64-bit versions are activated in the user's environment (<code>$PATH</code> and others).  This is done automatically through <code>/etc/profile.d/{iccvars,ifortvars,mklvarsem64t}.{sh,csh}</code>.
