Herb: Boy now that is original!

Hey, I never said I thought it was the best name around. I just want them to do something to differentiate their product. Since they haven't come out and said "Athlon4", it's probably not locked in. It does, however, show that they are at least considering something.

Earlier speculation / rumor was that AMD would call the large-cache Athlon for "Athlon Ultra". With the number of "Ultra" things out there, I'd rather they went with something else. IMHO, "Pro" would be good. Yes, I realize that Intel already used that one as well, but so have lots of other companies (before and after).
