Okay at first I thought I got it. I was thinking Oh, Bulldozer = FX processors But hten as I was researching more about the processors I found that bulldozers were on a Zambezi platform? Then other names pop up like Scorpius and scorpius refresh and volan and Corona and pile driver. If some one can sort this all out for me that would be nice.
So are you looking for a list of all the names or a reason why their marketing department likes using catchy names to help sell their processors? ~
Bulldozer = codename for the micro architecture series as a whole Zambezi = example of a sub-codename for specific lines in the series. for example, Zambezi is the codename given to the FX 4100-8150 which are their mainstream desktop CPUs. codename Interlagos was given to their Opertron server desktop CPUs. FX = Marketing name for the micro architecture. You really don't have to pay attention to any of the codenames.
