AMD doesn't want to effect Old Athlon Sales and Athlon II is reserved for Mustang IMO.

iHas it been discussed here that the T-Bird is just called Athlon?! I think that's a marketing blunder. Why not Athlon II? IMO, most people won't even notice AMD made improvements on the chip.

Dave,

Why don't you have the agency you work for make a proposal to AMD? Then you could deal directly with AMD marketing snafus.

Just a thought.

I think you have a good point. Maybe AMD should have done at least what Intel did and called it Athlon E.
