#37233 Posted on: 07/14/2005 08:14 PM I've heard that even Intel's engineers have no idea what some of the codenames refer to. It seems that when the marketing department is out of ideas, they just throw out a new codename and let people speculate about what it might be. RMN ~~~

#37235 Posted on: 07/15/2005 08:21 AM What was wrong with continuing on with the ghz method or just adopting something like what amd did? Ok folks it runs at 2.6 ghz but it's as fast as the other guys 4.0ghz processors so we call this one the AMD64 4000+. So intel says, ok folks it runs at 4.0ghz but it's supposed to be as fast as the other guy's 2.6ghz processor so we carry four zero's and... wait what were we doing again? Oh hell let's call it the 690. And what does 690 stand for Bob? No idea... but it sounds good. :rolleyes: - Q6600 @ 3.0ghz (333x9) - 4x1gb DDR2 800 - HD4890 - Asus Maximus Formula X38 - 150GB RaptorX - Antec P180v2 w/ 550w Real Power Pro -
