Is AMD trying to be edgy with that name?
Why the fuck couldnt they come up with something better.
I can't help but think of kung pow every time I read it
THREAD... RIPPER!
>>60785225
They did it for the lulz.
>>60785225
A threadripper is already a thing, it's for people who sew. It's a good codename, and accurately depicts the point of what it is, namely shitloads of threads.
>>60785225
he told intel that he was hardcore
intel didnt listen
>not wanting ripper mode on your cpu
>>60785456
YOU HAVE HUGE THREADS!

>Judas Priest intensifies
Well PR wouldn't approve of kikeripper so this was what they had to settle for.
Rumour is the 16 core kikeripper will be just $800.
>>60785639
>those tdp figures
how the fuck did jew killer do it?
>>60785288
This.
There's also a jab at Intel with the name. "EPYC"
>>60785662
80% yields on 8 core dies, higher stepping, extreme binning.
Ryzen is a pretty shitty name too.
>dude why doesn't it sound like an alien spaceship or a car?
>threadripper? it just sounds like it's good at lots of threads what kind of a dumb name is that?
>>60785692
I dunno, it's kind of grown on me. Epyc will always make me laugh, though.
>>60785225
lmao you scared? There's blood in the water.
>>60785364
thank you based shitwrecker

The reaper.
>EPYC
If you can't figure that one out. Just leave.
>>60785692
Well considering AMD has been absolute dogshit for the past 100 years I'd say it's a fitting name. Not hating on AMD btw, I'm glad we can now get good 8-core processors for $300 now. My 2500K is definitely starting to get long in the tooth and intel can go fuck themselves asking $1000+ for their shitty housefire processors that require deliding.
>>60785755
>Epyc
More like Epycolypse LOL
because intelRIPper wasnt a kosher name
>>60785758
>AMD has been absolute dogshit for the past 100 years

Seeing a bit of a contradiction here.
>AMD
>anagram for MAD
woah
>>60785225
Better than something like Cookie Sundae or Mohave Desert.
>>60785755
>>EPYC
>If you can't figure that one out. Just leave.
Ohhhhh. Dam AMD you savage AF lmfao.
>>60785797
if you see a disabled person barely able to walk hobble down the street for years it doesn't mean you hate them to notice they're disabled.
>>60785225
Becaue you can name your CPU as edgy as you want when you are going to utterly dumpster your competition.
Just FYI, the top 16-core Threadripper should score at least 3100 on that benchmark.
>>60785817
Lakelake.
>>60785797
I was just exaggerating lad. Intel has been AMD's bitch since A64, I know.
>>60785692
Zen would've been a much better name and I have no idea why they didn't just stick with that.
Fucking marketers.
The Vega GPU names are alright. I actually really like saying "Vega 64" but I just KNOW AMD marketing is going to fuck up and use something like "XxX_Vega_XxX" or some other retarded 'gamer' bullshit instead.
>>60785827
Is this the (((iceberg))) that killed jfk?
>>60785876
zen was probably registered already
>>60785639
This seems to be wrong, it has been confirmed that Threadripper will have 64 PCIe lanes.
>>60785941
I'd be willing to bet they couldn't register because it's too generic
>>60785876
Could have called it Zeppelin. That's the proper Arch name.
>>60785944
Dam son, AMD just overkill now. I don't think many people could saturate more than a 20 pci-express lanes.
>>60785225
pr/marketing
its why there's companies called razer
sounds edgy
looks like AMD is finally seeing the appeal of marketing your product as such
>>60785876
I think they shoulda went with "Furion". I thought Fury, Rage, Phenom were great names.
>>60785780
>>60785827
It's mocking Intel IA64 EPIC architecture.
>>60785241
>>60786778
>Furion
Too close to Fury X, sounds like a generic Killer Instinct character.
>>60785710

>>60785225
they couldn't afford better marketing research after shooting their financial wad hiring the Jew Killer.
