Between the two it's a matter of preference. Personally I enjoyed the Israeli codenames, especially as they were borne by several really good CPU designs at the time, whereas the more mainstream in terms of its naming Willamette/Prescott (Pentium IV) was a big disappointment. I understand they'd wanted to simplify the names though. Still, why not just "Tiger" instead of "Tiger Lake" then? (A rhetorical question at this point perhaps.)
- srtjstjsj 6y agoTiger isn't a lake, it's a cat. Tiger Lake is a lake.
- 4cao 6y agoTiger is a town in Georgia, which, unlike all these lakes, even has a Wikipedia entry, [1] so the name definitely qualifies under the policy of using geographic locations as codenames as well. However, since the location names used under this policy are so obscure few people (including an Intel employee in a parallel comment) even realize they refer to actual places, the whole naming convention arguably makes little sense at this point. 1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger,_Georgia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger,_Georgia
