    You seriously think every employee participates in naming schemes decisions ?

    They should have cut the core amount suffixes too (X2, X3, X4).
    Phenom II X4 940BE -> Phenom II 940BE, etc.
    You were not supposed to see this.

    Actually, I would get rid of the 'II' instead. The number of cores is the only useful information in the name

    AMD needed the II to show it's a brand new product to get rid of the mediocre reputation K10 left.

    Imho AMD's naming scheme is good as it is. But I'm glad they kicked "Ultra" out of the name...
    Notice any grammar or spelling mistakes? Feel free to correct me! Thanks

    I love AMD but I'm worried it's going to be too easy to make jokes, like 'Agesa H. Christ!!!'

    Indeed. I actually like the names, like they are now.

    Sure, as largon pointed out, the # of cores is redundant, as (to my knowledge) no X4, X3, or X2 products overlap with the same model #.
    However, I feel that the reason for this is, while we can relatively easily look at the products, and go "Ok, 9xx and 8xx are quads..." etc, the average consumer doesn't have a clue. While yes, they will just go for the higher number, most consumers do have a *slight* grasp of the idea behind the # of cores, and what they need.

    I'd rather they have the core numbers also. I haven't payed a lot of attention personally to AMD, but when I'm recommending a processor for a friend who needs a low cost, low power proc I want to know how many cores it has just by looking at the name. I don't want to look up a chart of all the CPUs to see that none of the model numbers overlap regarding the number of cores.

    I have just found the following… according to the Revision Guide for AMD Family 10h Processors v3.45 all Athlons (X4, X3, etc) based on Phenom II core got II-suffix! Now they are all Athlons II. LOL!

    Luckily you're overseeing all my post and are always happy to elaborate what everyone or my self think! Pff

    Why?
    Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
    As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.

    Rule 1A:
    Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.

    Rule 2:
    When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.

    Rule 2A:
    When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.

    Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!

    It's better than Core 2 and Core i7, imo...

    Anyways if you don't like the marketing name just use the code name... Bloomfield, Deneb, etc.

    Firestrider,

    Interesting found as to revision names:

    DR-A0/B1/B2/etc Deerhound
    RB-C0/C1/C2/C3 RidgeBack
    BL-C0/C2/C3 Bloodhound
    DA-C2 Dachshund
    HY-D0 Hydra

    Deneb sounds too abstractedly.
