"OK, where is Paul when we need him. We desperately need a nickname for "Opteron"."

Some of the ones I've been using over on the Mind Control AMD thread:

"Octogon," just to show how confusing the name is.

"Opticon," as in Panopticon, or with an emphasis on "Con."

"Octoroon," because it's a half-breed.

Knowing Paul, but not having talked to him today, my guess is that he would call it something like "Flopteron."
