I'm doing a paper for English on a technical item from my field of study, and I chose to go specific and do the AMD AthlonXP 2500+ with the Barton core. For this paper, I have to do an etymology (history of a word) of the names involved in that.
I was wondering if anyone knows the reasons behind why AMD chose the names:
Athlon
the "XP" suffix and what it stands for
Barton
I should be able to help explain the 2500+ and the naming conventions behind that on my own, but coming up with the reasons why AMD named the above chips (and what they were named after) has been tough.
Thanks in advance!
