Dale, where does CLAWhammer come from in Norse mythology? Sounds good, but I just can''t picture what a mythological Clawhammer should look like. Is it some kind of hammer tool or totally invented by AMD?

How about using the name Thorium to refer to the K8 series -- Clawhammer and Sledgehammer (eventually)

I can see it now...

Deep voiced narrator: "AMD introduces the first Thorium PC -- Pentium is obsolete"

Big_Burly_Hercules_Type takes a huge Sledgehammer and cracks a rock which opens up to reveal a gleeming PC with lightning emanating from it.

"Inside this Thorium PC, the fastest PC processor ever made, the 64 -bit Clawhammer."

later, ...

Well, yo get the idea.
