The Meaning Behind Intel Code Names?

Posted by Cliff on from the have-fun-with-it dept.

Scozza asks: "In the name of science and decency, we have been trying to find the meanings of the code names used by Intel for their processors. The only problem is that we can't find links to a couple of names and would really appreciate it if Slashdot could help fill the blanks!"

    With all these chips named after rivers, one has to question:

    Sadly, the latest sales figures seem to indicate so.

    I'm not sure about the rest, but Northwood is definitely a pornographic reference to Peter North.
