"Supported Processor types" is ONLY for 32 bits. 

When i remove Processor type and features  --->  [*] Supported processor vendors  ---> [ ]   Support AMD processors (CONFIG_CPU_SUP_AMD) it removes features relevant to 64 bit CPUs;

Are you sure those settings are "=y" or "=m") in the other file, and not just simply not present?  Changing that one setting may only have altered whether those other settings are explicitly included in the .config file, and not their value.
