Im taking my first year of latin, and I found that semper means Always, or Forever. Thought it might have something to do with sempron heh. Just thought I'd share.

I think I know why AMD called it sempron.

But it should be high time they stopped appending -'on' to every major processor name they come up with. Its been done to death its not even funny anymore. Athlon, Duron, Opteron, Sempron,... ew, c'mon.

You got it bro. You're a fast one.jonspd said:They have a cmon out hehe I didn't know the.
That's right to a certain degree. But technically, they're still Athlons. Even NC's and CH's are Athlons(64). Thoroughbreds, Palominos, Morgans, Bartons, Newcastles, Clawhammers, Sledgehammers, even (Jack)hammersQuattro said:
, they're just code names for the core architecture which is K7 or K8=Athlon. Maybe for the K9 core they might name it Kazoinklon, or Godzilleron, or...- Joined

There are only mere speculations about the true nature of this coming beast. Although dual-core should prove to be one of its major features, another is that of a much improved HT protocol/implementation. There's not much out there to show how much of a core improvement/difference the K9 has over K8 in terms of execution units, branch prediction, scheduler, decoder, etc, etc. But they better not name it Tampon, or Domcon, and God forbid, Dildon.Quattro said:
