Andres, " what a stupid marketing decision" - AMD is doing what they think makes sense to them by copying the number 4. Jerry wants market share and Intel is spending to make the Pentium 4 popular. Jerry piggybacks on those ads. If they adopt a name that would meet the approval with the nerds on this forum then they will have to increase the advertising budget in competition with Intel ads to make their name recognizable. AMD cannot afford to do this. You may dislike the Blue Man Group but Jerry understands.
