A look into the future of Intel chip naming...

[strredwolf]

A guy and a gal walks into a computer store, buying for processor chips.

One person, searching the counters, grabs a staff member. "Excuse me," he says, "do you have an Intel..."

The staff member groans, faces towards the person, and says "Okay, an Intel..."

The person jyrates to some unheard music as he says "Killamanjaro Quad-Core Ultrahyperthreaded Coochie coochie Low Watt Midtown Bus 314159629 processor."

The staff member asks "That's the Tango model or the Disco model?"

Meanwhile, the other person is already at the checkout line, having found her processor already. She asks the clerk "What's with him?"

The clerk replies "Oh, he's got a Intel-only motherboard. They're a pain in the butt, you know. I hear the latest requires you to take up contortion just to describe it right. We'll probably drop them for these AMD chips. One Opterion X4. Want a free copy of Windows Cleaner from SymcAffe?"

"No need," she replies, pointing to the little penguin logo on her t-shirt. When done, the babe cutely walks out, leaving the clerk in awe.

"I got to get me a copy of Linux."

Of course AMD uses an obscure numbering system that leaves you baffeled on what your actualy dealing with at first glance.

Thats okay. Intel has stopped putting processor speeds as well. "it's a D320 chip"

Most reputable dealers online list the + speed (which is actually a pretty fair indicator of speed against Intel P4 chips) as well as the real MHZ and Cache size.

My Sempron 64 2800+ (1600mhz) is pretty close in speed to my P4 2600mhz.
