Huske at pentium står for Penta.. eller 5-86 :e
Fandt en gang den her på internettet der beskriver intels navne problem:
First generation Pentiums (straight Pentiums) were called 586s. Second,
third, and fourth-generation Pentiums (Pro, II, III, respectively) are
called 686s. If we consider that Pentium is so named because it's the
fifth generation Intel processor, we ought to take the Pentium III to be
the third generation of Pentiums (but it's really the fourth), and we
ought to call consider the prefix pent as 5, and III as 3, so that the
Pentium III yields 8 and is thus an 886. But no, it's a 686.
Now what about the P4? Is that still the 686 core? If so, the situation
is even worse now. So while Pentium 5 isn't inherently stupid (it's just
a fifth-generation pentium), it is bad for Intel because it's really the
sixth generation of Pentium chip, and it might be called a 686, 786, or
even 886.
Boy, now I'm really confused. What ever happened to simple numbers?
They have to call it Pentium forever, because "Hexium", "Septium",
"Octium", "Nonium", and "Decium" all sound stupid. Although, if you take
the alternate prefix for 6, you get Sexium, which either sounds like a
really sexy processor, or one designed for porn servers.
I'm glad I'm not the Intel marketer having to set product names... I'd
just call the future P5 an i1086.
Angående alt det andet.. dualcore tyder temmelig meget på at være K9. Hørte den også da de første dualcore kom ud, at det faktisk var k9-processoren, men at vi ikke rigtig hørte til det navn, da det lyd af mere end hvad det var.
Am2 er jo ikke andet end en DDR2-memory-controller istedet for DDR.
K10 (K8L) For lavet ret meget om på fordelingen af cache, får HT3, og mulighed for DDR3-ram på længere sigt.
Theinquirer nævner vist også at det er oplysninger fra AMD.. Jeg skal da glædeligt spørge dem om det hvis vi møder dem på Cebit.
