Talk:AMD K8L/Archive 01

This is Archive 1, which cover articles started in 2006.

Outdated?
Parts of this article appear to be outdates since various details have been discussed in the AMD Keynote address Nil Einne 03:05, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Henri Richard... VP of AMD??
Quote in this article: "However, its existence is confirmed by Henri Richard, AMD executive vice president and chief officer". the redirection given opon Henri Richard leads to the brother of Maurice Richard, the famous -now dead- Montreal Canadian hockey player. And no disembiguation is given... does it means that Mr. H. Richard really is the vice-president of AMD?!? --Zerat ca 12:34, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Complete and utter bull
This page is a joke. Being the first person to publicly out the name K8L, here: http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=27421 I can say that every explanation given as to the naming on the page is dead wrong. K8L is not an AMD code name, and I personally have been asked by Chuck Moore and Pat Moorehead where it came from. That said, I can't say where it came from without outing my source, but it is not AMD, and the listed versions of it's genesis are woefully wrong.

You will also note that there is no official AMD documentation with the term K8L in it, they do not use, nor will they use, Henri's comments aside, that term. Henri is a marketig person, not a tech.

Also, the timeline is off, my article listed above was the first.

Hey Charlie
Please feel free to edit the page to whatever you think to be appropriate. We know that the "K8L" name is shaky, and AMD likely has an official code name for it. The convetion of *hound tells me that this may have been at one point "K9", or simply has adopted the code names of the original Greyhound project. We all know that you have some really good insiders' information, and are one of the respected writers on the net.

Process
What about the speculation of AMD using Silicon Germanium-on-insulator (SGOI), the process similar to Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI).

Categorization
The categorization of this article should be consistent with other microprocessors, otherwise the category lists will be incomplete. Specifically, this article should have both x86 microprocessor and microprocessors to be consistent with the approach used on other microprocessors. This was undone twice by Denniss.
