At least Intel doen't need to overcompensate with fancy Greek/Latin words like Phenom and Athlon...People KNOW they're better...

Sure AMD can lay claim to have it all on one die now, but then why is it slower?????

Athlon- was the ancient Greek word for "Champion/trophy of the games"

Phenom - A phenomenon (plural: phenomena) is an observable event, particularly something special.
