News AMD to use new naming scheme on CPUs

that is really crappy way to do it

 

Not entirely sure what the agro is against this method, it looks as if it's about to become a lot more simplified to understand spec, and - the increasingly important - power consumption.

Granted, for the simplistic ones amongst us, I suppose it will be a little more effort to make the direct omfg, l33t, my 5000Mhz0r is so much bettAr than your t3h-suck 3000Mhz one lolz0R' ... comparisons, heh.

 

Sadly the average n00b still wont know, they probably wont be told the serial of the CPU, and if they are they will forget it anyway

That was the nice thing with the 3200+ system or whatever, as long as AMD only made 1 chip with that spec, you knew what they had
