How do they come up with these stuff and does this mean anything other than just names?

I believe it has something to do with the names of locations in there homestate, and also my homestate, Oregon.

There's a city in Canada called Prescott. I drove through it on my way to Montreal 2 weeks ago. It was hot as hell

EDIT: Apparently, there's a Prescott, Arizona as well. Just look HERE

They take out a map and point to places around the world.

No wonder Intel chose that name.

So what kind of cpu they're gonna come up if they ever point out Antartica or Death Valley? :?

 

[shinigamiX]

Conroe is a town in Texas. I bet the Intel people did this just to curry President Bush's favor. Whores. How unsubtle. If I wanted to curry someone's favor, I'd do it in a more subtle fashion. Like steal all their wigs or something. That'd have them on their knees in no time.

I just wonder who would be the first to come up with a name Baghdad. It would be a seller!

If that isn't OT I don't know what is. That one must have come from way out in left field. (No pun intended.)

As for Baghdad, I would think it would be too unstable to be of use. (Pun intended.)

It would be for socket "Oil"

Got it! Thanks!

Prescott should have been named Death Valley.

Hottest Tempurature on Earth

Unless Intel or AMD brings out a CPU that can actually cool the inside of a PC case, no CPU should ever be called Antartica.

Agreed.

Mine is an old childhood nickname, not quite as exciting bland as 'Pat'.

Interesting as is mine.

So do I.

As for my name, the Spook part is a teenage nickname* and BGP are my initials.

*I have a natural aptitude at sneaking up on people, and I used to stare at people without blinking. To answer your next question, yes, I was a very weird person.

How do they come up with these stuff and does this mean anything other than just names?

When working on a project that has yet to be released, companies typically give the product/project a name. That can be legally dangerous for if they name the product/project before branding it and it has a trademark associated to that code name, then the owner of the trademark can sue and halt all activity on the project.

Various things cannot be trademarked though, geographic locations, generic terms such as animals (giraffe, monkey, or longhorn). Other names that are commonly accepted to describe objects also cannot be trademarked, such has hammer, sledgehammer, clawhammer....

Intel uses geographic locations or geographic names within the vicinity of their design/manufacturing sites (typically within the state or country) to name thier project names (Prescott, AZ Coppermine is a river in OR, Willamette and Deschutes are also rivers in OR), Merom is in Israel, so is Yonah and Dothan, Tejas (which was killed) is due to the fact that the project was located in Austin, TX. Conroe is in Texas.... not sure what Woodcrest refers to.

There you have it, pretty simple really.

I was just going to post this and you beat me to it, nice.
