Hrmm. A lot of stuff I didn't know in there. My favorite quote:Various flavors of the Athlon processor have carried code names like Thunderbird, while a chip known internally and in the press as Mustang is waiting in the wings for next year, as is a mobile chip known as Corvette. The Duron chip had previously been known as Spitfire. Of course AMD Chief Executive Jerry Sanders is known for his love of fast and expensive cars, but an AMD spokesman says there's no connection.
