Dog-Themes for AMD K9?

[MrControversial]

Do you think that AMD should take advantage of the K9 marketing opportunity by going with a canine theme?

 

[clarkey01]

Thier dual core is the K9 and already has a code name, thier origanl K-9 has been pushed back and called the K-10 (2008-2009)

 

[D1gger]

I'd be suprised if they wanted their top of the line product being called a dog! But if they don't do it, you know someone else will.

Eukanuba core!

 

[Budman]

The Pitbull core. :|:frown::evil: for high end stuff.

the low end cpu would be called Chihuahua core. lol.

 

[ribbon13]

Russian Wolfhound, Newfoundland, and Great Dane for Opterons!

Dumb. A dog in my day was somthing slow, crappy, broke-dick lazy. That aint an AMD processor.

Thats actually a pretty good marketing catch. However i think AMD actually needs to start marketing first

Dogs sniff out bombs and save disaster victims. Loyal companion to man, dogs suply things to man that we want/need. Why is that a bad thing if we paint such a picture for a CPU?

Granted I don't think its a great idea, AMD doesn't currently use the Kx in their marketing (you didn't see them call their Thunderbirds and Palominos and Bartons the K7, nor do you see them calling the A64s and Opterons K8s, K7 K8 K9, their just codes to describe the generation of the processor), so it wouldn't make sense to start doing so now, especially when it might not make that much sense if there is going to be any serious split feelings about it.

When AMD releases their new K9 cores, are they also going to change their current slogan ("AMD me.") to either "Bark me," "Bite me," "Lick me," or "Hump me", since it's associated with dogs?

It has to be better than naming your entire new CPU line after the type of material used to build toilet stalls. What were they thinking? ("Athlon", btw.)

Perhaps instead of K-9 or K10, they should call them the "oh-Kay" CPU. Or even better, the "Kay-Oh" (K.O.), referring to their dual-core chips destroying Intel's competitive offerings.

dogs a follower not a leader.. Thoroughbred... now that was a name.

Course I'd just call it "Better than Intel" got the brand recognition going on and it's discriptive..

[clarkey01]

K9 already has a name..................

(I forget but the K9's are now teh dual core K8's)

 

[ribbon13]

Italy and Toledo for the 2xx opterons and 939 a64s respectively. Egypt for the 8xx opterons and Denmark for 1xx opterons.

 

[CrowBarr]

Hmm...."Mutt" for the low-end desktop cores...maybe "Rottweiler" for the mid grade and as was mentioned already "Pit Bull" for high end...
