Manufactures have too much time on their hands?

How do AMD and Intel think of all these names for cores? Venice, Winchester (hey it's my town's name ), newcastle, clawhammer, northwood??? All so random!

So are this forum members' names...

Lol

Ask AMD for that. Maybe those people that chose the names just travel a lot .

I think they should change things up a bit. "Beef stick" "Raging Squirrel"
Those would be good core names.

better then a numeric system

indeed, im still getting to grips with intels bloody confusing number system. i dont understand why they had to change it, everyone knew what an Inte Pentium 4 3.0Ghz with HT technology was, now its all Intel 530, 650... WTF

Me and cromewell had this discussion earlier, intels systems is not too bad when you sit and think about it read our post

I believe all Intel code names are towns/cities, and AMD seems to have picked it up. My theory is that is where they did the primary design for the core.

Bloody hell that was confusing. Has anyone made a definitive table with every single numerical codename and what it actually means in terms of core spped bus speed cache size etc, cause that would be so much easier to look at.

Well if you deal with CPUID codes then you dont have to bother with codenames and all that sillyniess
