Was listening to latest #HardwareAddicts on #Odysee and wanted to clarify something about #intel naming conventions.

-Many names are pulled from geographic locations(mostly west coast US)
-Many names are in reference to either it's architecture or performance.

When looking underneath the cover of Cpu/Pch with a microscope, there are what resembles lakes, canyons, etc. Internally, no-one them by their spec-names eg "..2200k.." but have inhouse terminology thats 10x shorter.

So why the long name?

It makes it easier/clearer on BoM lists. Intel research wasn't initially meant for everyday consumers- so this goes back quite a long time ago to when most people who wanted the parts had to be specific because they cost a lot more than they do today. Refunds on experimental bleeding tech were not common inb4 the Arpanet.

No, not a spokesman- just someone who loves learning my techy roots.

I'm getting ready to record episode 46 of #HardwareAddicts #podcast with @dasgeek and Michael. Then tomorrow morning, recording episode 79 of #DLNxtend podcast with @CubicleNate and @MattDLN. Lots of #hardware and #linux stuff happening around here!
