Would've been much more interesting, if they had revived the Sempron name.

Duron is where it's at.

I think they should secure naming based on LOTR for a future elite product family.
I would buy a Galadriel 9 Series CPU.

Ah Duron, everyone's favorite CPU that sounds like a home improvement product or a sensible fabric to make tarps with.

In keeping with the tradition, it might actually be Ancalagon 9. That gotta be hot enough for everyone.

Probably had a lot of chips that didn't meet the requirements for an existing SKU, so instead of destroying them, sell them under a new SKU, to the OEM market, at the very least.

It didn't just sound like it, it actually was. Duron was/is a material used in commercial bathroom stall partitions. It also used to be a paint company.

If all they promise is slightly higher clocks than their predecessors, they shouldn't bother. They will likely be released to OEM's only, in which case, I would be very careful of buying prebuilts that contain these chips if the price difference between these and the 5000 chips is only minimal.
