Question AMD's Zen5 Server CPU Codename

[Mark242]

Ian's Interview with AMD revealed that the sucessor to Genoa will also have an italian codename:

But for the removal of doubt, Genoa is the Zen 4 design. Here's an exclusive: the one after that is another Italian City. I know you're shocked.

Looking at the top 12 of Italian cities:
Rome, Milan, Naples and Genoa are already used.
Palermo and Venice also have been used for AMD CPUs before.
Turin would be the biggest unused city name, but kind of has been used for the Turion series and could also be confused with Turing ...
Leaving us with: Bologna, Florence, Bari, Catania and Verona. (If we limit the list to the top 12.)
There are some interesting names further down the list though e.g. Parma, Ferrara, Monza, ...

It could be Chippy McChipface for all I care. It's a freaking codename, it doesn't mean anything.

Was it not Athlon X64, which came after Athlon XP

Yes, you are both right... sorry

I am going to say Bologna. Just so I can call it Baloonie whenever I want.

As long as it's not something stupid like Gamecache. I really do hope that term goes away.
