I have a Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 that I'm planning on dual booting with. I want to use Ubuntu 13.04, but on the daily builds download page there is only "PC (Intel x86) desktop image" listed for intel, and "64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop image" listed for AMD CPUs. Is there no 64bit for intel? should I just use the 32bit? Or should I just download 12.10 instead?
Yes, there is a 64-bit daily build of Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (soon to be Ubuntu 13.04) for Intel cpus. In fact, you mentioned it: it's the one that is called "64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop image". Yep, that's a confusing name and I'm sure it's called problems in the past, but that's the right one. (There's some sort of history behind the name, but it is correct.) It's the one I'm using with my 64-bit Intel cpu and it works perfectly. Download and use it with confidence with your Intel cpu.
