Interesting that the jump from 900 to 1000 doesn't seem to be that much of a problem, but companies avoid the jump from 9000 to 10000. At least I can think of no example right now.
Nvidia stopped after the 9000 series, Intel never crossed the 10000 mark in their "Core 2" CPUs ("highest I can find is Core 2 Duo T9900"), and so on.

- dEnigma 9y ago"Ten, eight hundred"? But I see what you mean. Especially when you reach the teens, e.g. "17700", it would sound pretty bad.
