What is going on with Intel and their naming department. Pentium is a good name, Itanium is a great name, Core sucks bad, vPro sucks bad, and now Core 2 with Core only having been out for a few months? Is this the same group that brought us the Celeron, a name that brings up vivid images of a non-nutritive fibrous vegetable?
The scary thing is not only does someone have to come up with these bad names, but there were people sitting around the table saying "Yes, that's a great name!", "Good job, guys", "This will knock them off their feet". How do they collect so many idiots, pay them, and teach them all how to sit in a chair.
Not that AMD is much better, Athlon sounds like a foot fungus or a slow moving, peripatetic, arboreal animal. But, it is still better than Core. Core is so dreadfully boring and lifeless, even fungal growth seems appealing by contrast.
Think of all the pleasure you'll have telling your friends you have a Core 2 Duo 980, or whatever the Hell numbers they give them.
Why do they waste all their good names on code names? Katmai would be a cool name, even Tualatin is not too bad. What would you rather tell your friends, you bought a Katmai processor, or a Core 2 Duo 980 E ? Heck, you say that to a girl and you might get slapped, even though she'll not be entirely sure why she slapped you.
Core 2 Duo. Just beautiful.
