AMD Changes Chip Names ...

[Midnight Rambler]

<< Palomino and Morgan were once code-named, respectively, Corvette and Camaro. According to published reports, the company changed the names from sports cars to horses. >>

Cause the GM Legal Dept. was puttin' the smack down on them ... 😉

 

[NFS4]

Ummm, we've known this for at least 2 months now

 

[Windogg]

Advice to AMD, do not call the next chip the, &quot;Pinto&quot;

 

[andylawcc]

so is that why they drop Mustang too?

 

[NFS4]

Well, they dropped the Mustang all together...name and chip

 

[Midnight Rambler]

Sorry, I didn't know. Obviously I was only interested in the names. 😉 The U.S. Navy wasn't smart enough to copyright one of them ... 😉 😉

 

[andylawcc]

ha I know I know, I was joking coz Ford may sue them for Mustang, which is a Horse and a Car name

 

[Midnight Rambler]

But does Ford actually have a copyright on the word mustang? I don't see how ...

 

[Zorba]

Don't forget about the North American P-51 Mustang 😉.

 

[Fardringle]

Wasn't the code name for the P3 1.13Ghz originally the Nova? 🙂

AMD also mapped aggressive plans to launch eight new Athlon and Duron chips by the middle of next year.

These chips will be based on AMD's Mustang processor core. The updated processor core will feature higher clock speeds, lower power transistors and will also incorporate AMD's Power Now power management technology.

The Mustang may be gone but the core lives on.


NSF4, is it really necessary to announce everytime someone posts something that you have already posted?

OT:



<< 'One World, One Web, One Program' - Microsoft Promotional Ad
'Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Fuhrer' - Adolf Hitler&quot; >>

Nice, very nice 😀 To bad they weren't in the same order. Hitlers, was People, Country, Leader. Web, World, Program would seem to match a bit closer from microsoft's view 😉 But it's pretty damn funny nonetheless 🙂

etech that was totally wrong. The Mustang was the exact same core as a T-bird. Its the Palomino that has the new core.

Incidentally, it was confirmed somewhat here that Mustang Server (basically, a Palomino with larger L2 cache -- Palo:Mustang:😛III:Xeon) was canned. As you should all know, every new AMD chip in 2001 will use the K7 core revision, initially known as Mustang, and that they were initially going to release a server chip called &quot;Mustang Server&quot; or &quot;Athlon Ultra&quot;. This server chip was shifted to the name &quot;Mustang&quot; somewhere in midyear, and ... well, now it won't exist at all. Instead, we'll have to wait until early 2002 to see an AMD cpu with more than half a megabyte of cache (well, not counting AMD's sixth generation chips, which supported caches totalling up to 2368KB).

Palomino, together with Morgan and Mustang,were designed to be next-generation derivatives of the Athlon core, with differing amount of on-chip cache optimized for different markets. Executives at AMD's analyst meeting on Thursday said that both Palomino and Morgan would also feature microarchitectural improvements designed to improve
performance.

hehe, i think you corrected him enough etech 🙂....

In the words of John Paul Etech, &quot;I have not yet begun to correct him.&quot;

On the other hand, the next-generation Mustang core, and the Corvette derivative for notebook PCs, have also been designed from the ground up with AMD's PowerNow power-saving technology.
To date, AMD has simply said the Mustang will offer significant power savings, based upon a redesign of the transistors upon which the chip is manufactured.

Ok, this is enough, I just hate being told I'm &quot;totally wrong&quot; even when I am and especially when I'm not.

AMD also mapped aggressive plans to launch eight new Athlon and Duron chips by the middle of next year. These chips will be based on AMD?s Mustang processor core. The updated processor core will feature higher clock speeds, lower power transistors and will also incorporate AMD?s Power Now power management technology.
Despite AMD?s high expectations for it, the Mustang core has seen a few setbacks. Most recently, AMD scrapped plans to offer large cache-size server chips based on the new core, which can offer up to 1MB of integrated cache.

&quot;I have received some news from an anonymous source that AMD may have changed their plan for the Mustang series of CPUs. &quot;
