Don’t you think (like me) that the processors of AMD have names as if writing an essay, e.g. “AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 89W 1MB L2 Brisbane” is one name. Who would like to write such long names everytime? AMD has now understood it and has tried to make them smaller. But they still are long, though as not as long as earlier.

Actually, AMD reveals the names of a set of future CPUs. The first of these processors to get the new nomenclature are the low-power, dual-core Brisbane CPUs. These processors, clocked in the 1.9 GHz to 2.3 GHz range, will feature a 45W thermal envelope. AMD guidance claims these chips will get a simpler designation than “Athlon 64 X2 4000+ 45W 1MB L2 Brisbane.

Each of these new processors will be named as follows:

* AMD BE-2400: 45W Brisbane, 2.3 GHz
* AMD BE-2350: 45W Brisbane, 2.1 GHz
* AMD BE-2300: 45W Brisbane, 1.9 GHz

Low-end, single-core Sempron cores will also get this designation, as follows:

* LE-1300: 45W Sparta, 2.3 GHz
* LE-1250: 45W Sparta, 2.2 GHz
* LE-1200: 45W Sparta, 2.1 GHz
* LE-1150: 45W Sparta, 2.0 GHz
* LE-1100: 45W Sparta, 1.9 GHz

Now, lets see, if people like these ‘SMALL’ names.
