updates - apt-get searching for binary-armhf with INTEL i7 CPU

When I run: apt-get update I receive the following errors:


Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com trusty/main armhf Packages
404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.91.13 80]

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.


I cleared /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d and reverted to trusty main repos, e.g, the output of cat /etc/apt/sources.list is simply:


###### Ubuntu Main Repos
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main universe
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main universe


###### Ubuntu Update Repos
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main universe
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates main universe


What triggers the package manager to look for the binary-armhf directory and how can I stop these errors when updating my packages?


Why is my distro searching for the binary-armhf directory? I'm have an intel i7 and don't believe it uses the arm instruction set, doesn't it have its own x86_64 (I could be wrong, I don't know much about cpu architecture)?


In case it is helpful, the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo for on of my cores is:

Thanks for any direction, I've been struggling with this for a while.
