xotix · 10-15-04, 11:57 AM

hmmm, dunno. would have to look into that one.

If you look at their road map, they are going to be producing a core code named "paris" and "Toledo" quite soon, I know where paris is, but Toledo?

The Coolest · 10-15-04, 12:07 PM

Sledgehammer and clawhammer were the 2 first cores of Hammer.
Starting the NewCastle, they began giving the chips names of cities all over the world.
Toledo is a city as well

Well, intel's mobile chips are named after cities in Israel. Not sure about the other intel chips though.

Mdogs444 · 10-15-04, 05:17 PM

Toledo is a northwest major city in Ohio

Well i noticed somthing like dat a while ago Thoroughbread and palamino are types of horse lol

Gautam · 10-15-04, 05:44 PM

All the cores' code names have something to do with horses. Winchester, Clawhammer, Thoroughbred, Palomino, etc.

ps2cho · 10-15-04, 06:21 PM

hey ripster u have near enuff the same specs as me. what score do u get on 3dmark2001 ??? could u tell me ?

amd_luvarboi · 10-16-04, 02:51 AM

The Stockholm core will no doubt be *the best*

Sir Barton · 10-16-04, 09:38 AM

the original Toledo is actually a city in Spain

.

9mmCensor · 10-16-04, 10:57 AM

yeah AMD names their chips after things/place. Before their was thunderbird (plane), and some horsie names. now its places.

cetoole · 10-16-04, 10:58 AM

Where are Sledgehammer and Clawhammer located?

The Coolest · 10-16-04, 01:17 PM

Those 2 are not named after locations AFAIK

cetoole · 10-16-04, 06:02 PM

Too bad, that would be cool to live in Clawhammer, UK.

The Coolest · 10-16-04, 06:17 PM

Clawhammer is a horse, I don't have a clue about sledgehammer.
Maybe Amd meant it literally?

NovaShine · 10-17-04, 11:25 PM

ahhh, so symbolic, the sledgehammer to break intel's back
