Hammer get a new name.

[Deviant]

Yep, the Clawhammer's new name is AMD Athlon 64.

About as exciting as Geforce FX.

[Grrr!!]

I thought we were going to get something exciting ... why does the server market get all the good names (Opteron, Xeon) and we get all the ****y ones (eg Celeron).

[_N_]

the only reason xeon sounds cool is cause it's expensive, and celeron is cheap,

if servers were called celeron, then it would be cool to have a celeron,

A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet.

And sh1t stinks no matter what you call it.

Nice 1 LOL :D

[swiftynz]

xeon, celeron, pentium, they're all bloody stupid names :p

imho no one's come up with a decent name yet. athlon's one of the better names i reckon ;)

they have to give them cool name to justify the pricetags! :eek:

Damn was hoping they'd call it Megatron so you could tell it was the sister to the Opteron.
Besides they'd sell alot more :D :D

Throughbread & Thunderbird are quite cool names. They should have kept sledgehammer:mad:

[mird-OC]

yeah but they're just codenames. the codenames are always cooler than the "real" names ;)

Yeah Megatron sounds heaps cooler than Gigatron........ hmmm Optimus Prime........ Megatron.......... :eek:

OMG the leaders of the autobots and decepticons are gay lovers and they had a baby and they named it..........OPTERON

[h0nky]

haha gay robots had a cpu child........good one I.R......:o

my fav "codename" is palomino. just has a tangy ring dont it?

and everything ends with on:
duron, athlon, celeron (aka gheylaron), xeon, opteron, pention......wait pention? thats not right, but it should be called that rather that pentium (aka poopium). pention, just has a funny ring to it.

but its accually good that the hammer family is going to be surfacing soooonish....., give or take a decade.:D

not... AMD released it as the AthlonXP and that's it. the only place the name shows up on the AMD website is on their roadmaps - and that's coz there's no way around it ;)

some retailers list CPUs as "palomino" but it's really just purely for the enthusiasts convenience.

well......#$@&
