Don't you think it it is a bit ironic how they are going to name the new generation of processor 'Sandy Bridge'?

Surely sand is the last thing you would want inside your motherboard! :)

I had thought that it sounded more like a girly name relating to a dumb barbie type american woman:rolleyes:. The name should have echoed an alpha male type:p. I would give AMD +1 in naming department with 'bulldozer'. Now this creates fear and thunder :cool:.

Well considering that many PCB's contain glass fibre that you already have sand in your motherboard! :p

Good point, but when I think of a 'Sandy Bridge', it makes me think of my motherboard being clogged up with sand (like the stuff you find at the beach, not in glass :)!).

Maybe you should stop thinking?

I got to agree Bulldozer sounds a lot better, Intels naming system needs beefing up i still cant spell neilheim and gulftown should be called something like BOOOM HEADSHOT :)

Intels current names do seem dopy. However the Core 2 series sounded much more cooler with names like conroe, kentsfield, wolfdale and yorkfield:).

Yeah, I agree.
 
It's not ironic. You also wouldn't want an apple Core in your motherboard, or a Wolf, or the city of York, or a Field. Or John Presscott.
 
Bulldozer does sound better and you think of it this way - You can use a Bulldozer to move sand, so Bulldozer should trample all over Sandy Bridge.:p:D
