Milo,

Maybe they should have named it the duh-ron? This would appeal to Simpson's fans.

milo,

< ... notice how the name rhymes with it's enemy CPU

celeRON
duRON

Good choice AMD >

I noticed that too. I'd have liked it more, if there was no similarity between these two names.

It seems chip stocks are going to do OK today. Intel opened more than $3.50 lower but now only down half of that. AMD has already moved into positive territory.

I think DURON is a good choice. I was fearing "Alereon" because AMD has that trademark. I'm a little surprised that such a short name with a good root was not already registered by somebody.

I wonder what Paul Engel's pet name for this one is. Maybe he'll show up at the shareholder's meeting to heckle Jerry.
