Maybe we want to be general, to be able to describe a whole line of chips that share a common base. I don't know what you find so offensive about gathering all the codenames into one category. After all, don't you admit that a Barton and an original Athlon have more in common than an Athlon and a K6-III ?This isn't just an argument in semantics; a K7 core is different from a Thunderbird core, just as a Thunderbird core is different from a Barton core. Just talking of the K7 as a series of cores is way too general.

BTW: That's an Athlon 1100 (Tbird). It should do pretty well. i recall it having a default FSB of 266, and the good old pencil trick should work to unlock the multipliers.

K6 was the ORGINAL socket 5 and socket 7 6th generation AMD chip. After that came the K6-2 and K6-III, both socket 7. They used different cores, so they had different code names. Every new core design has a different code name. They used code names for the K6 line of cores as well, Model 6 was the original core design, then there was Little Foot, Chompers, and Sharptooth. It has been awhile since the K6 series so I'm less sure on where the core changes were.
K8 is not the official code name for opteron, it is sledgehammer. The code name for Athlon64 is clawhammer. The core technology (x86-64) is generally referred to as Hammer, but that isn't the official AMD codeword for any specific core.
Onto the Intel code names. P6 was the codename for the Pentium pro (p6t for PII overdrive). PII was Klamath and Deschutes, PIII is Katmai, Coppermine, Coppermine-T, and Tualatin. P4 is Willamette and Northwood.
If you want to go back even farther P5 was the original Pentium chip, with the P54c as Pentium classic, and the P55c as the Pentium with MMX technology.
This isn't just an argument in semantics; a K7 core is different from a Thunderbird core, just as a Thunderbird core is different from a Barton core. Just talking of the K7 as a series of cores is way too general.

No.. my moms 1300 has a 200fsb..... I think the XP's were what went to 266...
And as far as I can tell there never was a 1.1ghz Palomino AthlonMP, they went from 1ghz to 1.2ghz.
Why not keep crapping my thread?
