AMD plans non-Intel chip design

.
Mr. Krelle said AMD's SledgeHammer chip will be designed to run the older 32-bit software at high speeds, in contrast to the relatively slow performance that is expected for the 32-bit software on the Merced chip. And since AMD's new “x86 64” architecture will offer a less radical style of computing than Merced, Mr. Krelle said, it will be far easier for programmers to write 64-bit versions of the software

"Titanium" has terrific marketability --- "Titanium Card", Seiko's "Titanium." It suggests first of all strength - titanic strength -- second it suggests lightness -- and third, a charming metallic color liked by almost everyone -- suggesting high tech provenance. "Itanium" -- especially pronounced with a prepositioned schwa, suggests "attainium." Excellent choice. Of course, I expected "Eggplantium." Phew!
