AMD Hammer to be called ENERO 64 ??

[mr_gobbledegook]

ENERO 64 Eh ?? Strange name for the Hammer. I think AMD should have stuck with the code name as it sounds cool.

I wonder what "Genspan" is supposed to mean ? (probably 32 to 64bit just in marketing talk).
Glad to see AMD are playing the same marketing shenanigens as Intel !

WTF does ENERO stand for. Well it doesnt sound really neat like Itatium, Pentium, Athlon, K6-x, or even G4. Sounds really odd. Well i hope that is a rumor.

Nice Nvidia and ATi users get a Cookie.... Yummy

And what if that's just theh name of one of the technologies to be used in teh K8. Personally, I think AMD should call their processors by teh code name, I mean when someone asks me what's my processor, I say Advanced Micro Device K-7 version C: . Makes em think I have a supercomputer. hehe. I was also thinking about teh K9- probably 3 years away, they'll probably call it Canine.

enero is spanish for January

its justa rumor that AMD will name the HAMMER ENERO.... because they registered the name... dont mean they will use it....

Thankx for clarifying what that means. january? Na, they won't name that processor that- it'd be like naming a car "The Sheep" rather Jaguar. Hehehe.

AMD has always used wierd names: Athlon, K6-X, Hammer...

Enero doesn't sound that out of place then.

:tongue: Have you ever tried cooking an egg on your HSF? Tasty. :tongue:

Enero does sound out of place- won't make it seem as powerful imo. What does athlon mean anyway?

They’ll probably name the Hammer after whatever Microsoft OS is out at the time.
