How do you pronounce component names in real life?

[NOVAA]

Lol was wondering this the other day, ok for example lets take the Ati 5870...

How do you pronounce it?

I say Five-Eight-Seventy, but my brother read the same thing and said Fifty eight-Seventy, and then my dad read the same thing in a magazine and goes "Hey how good is the ati Five-Eight-Seven-Zero?"

Lol just got me thinking you know.

Other ones for me-

Nvidia 295=Nvidia Two-Ninety Five
(My) Ati 4890=Four-Eight-Ninety
(My) Amd 955=Nine Fifty Five

How about you guys?

5870= fifty-eight seventy
4850= fourty-eight fifty
295= two ninety-five

:D

[NOVAA]

5870= fifty-eight seventy
4850= fourty-eight fifty
295= two ninety-five

:D

Lol see its totally pointless but I thought it would be funny at the same time

[tinymouse2]

I'm just like you.

Five nine seventy
Five eight seventy
Q nine five fifty
i5 (not much that can go wrong there :D)


I think it depends on how much you know about computers (slightly)
Asked housemates and both the girles said fiftynine seventy. Other guy said five nine seventy and we know about as much as each other.

[Joeteck]

LOL... However, you make a very good point...
5870... Wonder if anyone called it the " ATI five thousand eight hundred and seventy"... hahaha.

Nvidia, is the same way...

[Old Thrashbarg]

5970 = Fifty nine seventy. I have never heard anyone pronounce it differently. And "five nine seventy" doesn't make any sense to me whatsoever. I wouldn't even recognize what somebody was talking about if they pronounced it that way.

8600GTS = Eighty six hundred gee tee ess.
E2200 = E twenty two hundred.
2400Pro = pee oh ess.

And also, on the same subject:
SATA = sah tuh.
PATA = eye dee ee.

[Ben333]

Athlon 2200 "twenty two hundred"
Socket 462 "four sixty two"
Socket 775 "seven seven five"
2800 MHz "Twenty eight hundred megahertz"

[hajalie24]

4870 - forty eight seventy
gtx 296 - G-T-X 295
q6600 - Q sixty six hundred
e5200 - E fifty two hundred

[bacpp]

lol i'll have an English mini presentation tomorrow, and this 2pic is really helpful to me. Thanks guys. I'm dammed with socket 478,775,1156,1366...

anyway, I think I should pronounce 5870 as "fifty-eight seventy", like they pronounce 1992 as "nineteen ninety-two" :D

[baris_]

Nvidia 295 = Nvidia tweehonderd-vijvennegentig
ATI 5850 = ATI achtenvijftighonderd-vijftig
Intel Q9550 = Intel Q vijvennegentighonderd-vijftig.

Well that's Dutch. ^^

I actually never pronounce it in Dutch even when I talk to Dutch people or even in the stores.

4870 - forty eight seventy
gtx 296 - G-T-X 295
q6600 - Q sixty six hundred
e5200 - E fifty two hundred

I pronounce it like this.

[Mr.Guvernment]

what ever lets me say it fastest.

to me saying five, eight seventy is slower then fiftyEight, seventy

with 4 numbers or more i say the numbers in 2, if it is 3 letters i say socket seven ,seventyfive

[freeagent]

a few years ago i was at my local shop, and we were talking about super pi

except i was saying it as I read it on the net for some reason.. super pee eye

they got a chuckle out of it, and my cheeks were red, this thread reminded me of of that awkward moment :)

[CompuTamer]

5870 = fifty eight seventy
i7 920 = i7 nine twenty
I usually just say it in the shortest way lol

[bda1967]

In my part of the country we pronounce the "ty" ending in numbers as "dee" except for fifty which is pronounced as fifty. i.e. 5870 fiftyeight seventy is pronounced fiftyeight sevendee and i7 920 is eye seven nine twoney (rhymes with money). :)
