Intel CPU naming convention

Prescott was hardly a Lord.

But I like the names.

Willamette does sound familiar, now that I think about it. For AMD I know there's Egypt and Italy, Venice and Orleans.

yeah, i believe intel uses like cities and amd may use rivers or something, i'm not really sure. wait, maybe thats bearlake that im thinking of, as in a chipset... oh wellz. i just ignore the names and numbers and jargon... even clock numbers most of the time... 2ghz on one proc is entirely different than 2 ghz on another proc, even by the same manufacturer.

well damn maybe i was partially correct....!

peryn is actualy a small temple that used to be a village,in scottland or ireland i beleive

Um... ok... but if you look on a map... you'll find Penryhn on the south pacific.. I saw it in my history class today. Also, is that temple spelled Peryn or Penryhn? Because....we might be talking about two different things... and I might have misspelled it.

It is called Penryn. Intel's naming scheme is based on cities.

This list has a lot of code-names for projects and links to the city webpages.

McKinley - City/mountain is up for debate on this one, since I've seen the Itanium 2 shirts that have the mountain on it. Since this was a joint HP-Intel project, the naming scheme may not fit perfectly.
Madison
Hondo
Deerfield
Fanwood
Montecito

Intel and amd used to cities i live by and one i live in. Amd Used Toledo. which is in Toledo,ohio and Intel used Northwood which is also in Ohio, i saw amd used Toledo i was like what did they do ponit there fingures at the at the map and say hey i will name this chip Toledo. and i will name this chip Northwood lol. I am waiting for amd or intel to use Oregon. which would not surpise me at all lol.

That's about cores, and even AMD is not kidding here; SPARTA, BARCELONA, they even had some 'royal' cores like the Manchester, Winchester etc.
In model numberings, I thik that AMD's scheme is a bit more accurate; though semprons and athlons with the same rating number are stupid, the worst thing IMO is that intel's numbers have jumped from straightforward GHz to nothing that has to do with performance rating; the QX6700 vs XE6800 :?: :!: , E4300 and E6300 are so near, but yet so intuitively far in model numbers.
On the other hand, AMD not only adopted a still performance rating but they also sticked to it up to now.

It could be either Toledo. I mean just think of the simpsons, which Springfield was it? I get what you're saying though, Toledo is generally connotated with Spain.

Welcome to fabulous Penrhyn Island!


By the way, there's a Penryn in California, east of Sacramento. There's also a Wolfdale in Pennsylvania.

like many of intels cores,its in oregon
