What is the difference between x64 and IA-64?

Viewed 60652

I was on Microsoft's website and noticed two different installers, one for x64 and one for IA-64. Reference:Installing the .NET Framework 4.5, 4.5.1

My understanding is that IA-64 is a subclass of x64, so I'm curious why it would have a separate installer.
