Unfortunate name.
- dmvdoug 3y agoI don’t know, it made me snicker. But then again, I do spend most of my working hours among 14 year olds.
- DavidPiper 3y agoYeah, sadly my first thought was "Intel CPUs are powered by farting now?" Second thought was "I wonder if it reduces fan noise."

- wincy 3y agoReminds me of a few months ago when Nvidia announced their new CuLitho fabrication process, which is Spanish means “cute little ass”. I hope Nvidia adds backside power delivery to their new CuLitho chips, just so we can get as many jokes as possible out of this fab cycle.
- pbj1968 3y agoCulitho != Culito
- raziel2701 3y agoH is silent in spanish, so when spoken culitho = culito
- wincy 3y agoOh come on we’re allowed to have fun at Intel and Nvidia’s expense. This is like the most niche joke if I can’t make it on HN I’m doomed. I’ve got the Spanish speaking software engineer joke market locked up!
- midoridensha 3y agoI'm sure just about any product name is going to sound bad in some random language used somewhere on Earth.
- userbinator 3y agoCuLitho de Nvidia.
- mahkeiro 3y agoCannot be worst than Audi "etron" which means horseshit in French :)
- mometsi 3y agoYeah, maybe PowerBottom was already trademarked.
- ftxbro 3y agothey had to know. someone had to know I thought maybe it was only the ones in the article who were saying it, but no it's also in the intel advertisement video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt-7c9Wgnds&t=73s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rt-7c9Wgnds&t=73s
