Without further adue, this is how AMD names its products: Commercial CPU – Formula 1 Racing TracksĪMD Server Roadmap clearly shows a lot of race track activities for AMD engineers □ We also decided to throw in AMD’s consumer codenames to the mix. Mubadala also owns 5% of Ferrari S.p.A., hence the connection between the two. That person also saved AMD’s bacon with investments from Mubadala Abu Dhabi, a company that is probably now AMD’s largest shareholder, with a 22% share of AMD itself. Also, AMD is blood-bonded with Ferrari, which was a credit of a certain Frenchman that led AMD’s Sales & Marketing team to its greatest period of success. With completely new winners and a revised grid we can conclude that the F1 rules worked and that season is unpredictable. One of the AMD-based super-computers is used by FIA to simulate the behavior of F1 cars and that resulted in a sea of changes for the current Formula 1 season. How hard was it to Google the name if you don’t understand it?Įven though it is not known to general audience, AMD is blood-bonded with the world of motor racing. But as the time passed by, we saw a lot of digg shouts to well-established media sites, repeating the Magny Cours comments and mistyping “Maranello”, “Interlagos” and I just became pissed off at the ignorance showed by fellow journalists. Given the fact that AMD ships a true many-core processor in a form of ATI Radeon 4800 series, we decided to delete that e-mail from inbox and move on. So, we were treated with a blonde reporter for “Java Something” claiming Magny Cours is AMD’s abbreviation for Many Cores, implying that AMD is a company that does not want to use Intel’s marketing terminology. When AMD held its 6th Year Anniversary for its most successful product of all time – the Opteron series, the company gave a glimpse into its future by releasing a roadmap full of codenames known to Europeans and Formula 1 fans, but not exactly technical press.
