Seems kind of plain to me. Just an Athlon? It didn't rate a bi-, tri-, pent- or dec- prefix. ;-)

AMD Athlon(tm) Processor Pricing and Availability The 600-MHz AMD Athlon processor is priced at $699, the 550-MHz AMD Athlon is priced at $479, and the 500-MHz AMD Athlon is priced at $324, each in 1,000-unit quantities. End-user systems based on the AMD Athlon processor are planned to be available in Q3. When do you think they'll have a thousand to ship? Personally I think that the AMD bAthlon is aptly named as it describes what their shareholders have experienced. Also, it appears to be derived from "bathysphere", which we know is something that goes deeply underwater.
