AMD Considering New Naming Scheme for Processors

zekrahminator · Oct 16, 2007

According to X-Bit labs, we may see an entirely new naming scheme for all processors coming out of AMD's factories. A basic run-down of how the changes would re-name current and future products...

AMD Phenom FX - quad-core microprocessors for enthusiasts with or without capability to work in pairs.

AMD Phenom 9000 - quad-core processors for single-socket machines.

AMD Phenom 7000 - triple-core microprocessors.

AMD Athlon 6000 - dual-core microprocessors.

AMD Athlon LE-1000 - single-core microprocessors.

AMD Sempron LE-1000 - single-core microprocessors.

In the long term, this new naming nomenclature will make things a lot easier for customer, retailer, and manufacturer alike. However, in early 2008, when this naming scheme might take effect, it could cause some confusion.

not bad,tho' the triple core,does seem like a chair with a leg lopped off.

Woah Mama! · Oct 16, 2007

Those new names suck.

Stick to Athlon, maybe make the new quad known as 'Titan' core, it just sounds ghetto (and overpowering)...

Seems like AMD is becoming the old intel...................

tri core eh.

devguy · Oct 16, 2007

Hmm, no Phenom x2? Because the triple cores don't come out until march and I don't think I'll be able to afford a Phenom x4 at launch, I guess I'll still be in the Athlon x2 arena.

WarEagleAU · Oct 16, 2007

Best name on their is the Phenom.

magibeg · Oct 16, 2007

Have to say one of my least favorite things is trying to learn all these naming conventions by all the companies. Why couldn't they just say x for single x2 for dual, x3 for triple, and x4 for quad. But maybe I'm just a simple man

Yea.. gotta agree. But, a chair with a leg lopped off is a stool. So it can't be ALL bad..

Three legged stools are quite unstable.dunno about the amd triple tho'

DOM · Oct 16, 2007

man it would suck if they did the 3-core just to beat the c2d's 2-core

Sorry to bump up an old thread :rolleyes:

But, when are the rumored Phenoms getting released? Particularly the quad-cores...

DaMulta · Oct 19, 2007

I would guess around the time that 790 is coming out.
