That has nothing to do with your current processor. This setting is the
*target* architecture and can just as well be ARM, PowerPC, AVR, etc. as
well and your processor definitely can't run those outside of emulation.
The default setting of this is whatever architecture you installed Lazarus
as: when you install 64-bit Lazarus on Windows you'll get x86_64 as default
and if you install the 32-bit one it will be the i386. And if in the future
you install a ARM64 Lazarus on a ARM64 Windows the default will be aarch64.
So if you need a different target platform than your default you have to
change that.
