message: The Family/Model/Stepping column seems totally unnecessary given that only two entries out of dozens make use of it.  I will remove it in a few days if there are no objections. 208.66.208.200 19:41, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I think that a column should be added with the year of introduction. Andries 11:46, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not a bad idea. Two remarks: 1) Some codenames relate to products that were never introduced. 2) Good luck on finding all the dates. It must be possible but it's going to be a lot of work (but then again so was composing this list in the first place). The Seventh Taylor 13:12, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Definitely agreed, I actually came here to point that out when I read this. :) Sorting on that would suddenly make this list a chornological history of codenames as well, and also assist users in finding the codename for recent technologies. But yes, it'll take some work of course. — Northgrove 12:05, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

text: I agree with having the year, but so far the few entries in this column have full dates. Are the month and day really worthwhile? Also, what does the date mean? Is it the first public mention of the code name? Snoofer (talk) 03:04, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: adding column with year of introduction?

message: Wouldn't it make sense to add a column of what product the codename corresponds to, such as Processor, Centrino Platform, Chipset, etc., and thus have it sortable for users? I'll see what I can do later today. Suigi (talk) 00:39, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

message: According to WP:NOT: "Wikipedia is not a collection of unverifiable speculation...Articles that present extrapolation, speculation, and "future history" are original research and therefore inappropriate." None of the text in the "Named After" column is referenced and a good portion of it is entirely speculative - e.g. "Possibly Lake Windigo, Minnesota" - so it shouldn't be in this article right?
Thoughts? -- Hux (talk) 18:07, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes TheKuygeriancontribsuserpage 12:47, 23 May 2021 (UTC)

text: Yes, please remove them, a) Unless someone from Intel confirms, in a verifiable manner, what a codename is named after this is all original research, aka guesswork b) is it actually useful even if we had all the references ?--Flibble (talk) 14:15, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Two more missing entries, apparently unrelated?
* Edison: a miniature computer with the form factor of an SD card, based on a 22nm Dual Core 
* Edisonville: former name of Microserver DDR3L SoDIMM 
Of the first one, I'm not sure whether this would count as a codename or a commercial product name, though sometimes the one transitions into the other. It's probably just a concept and not a commercial product yet so I'd include it.

message: New codename:
* Moorefield: 64-bit enabled SoC; 22nm quad-core Z35XX Atom, based on Silvermont microarchitecture. 
Just a thought: Wouldn't codenames with Moore (Moorestown, Moorefield) and with Grove (Walnut Grove, Groveland) be tributes to Gordon Moore and Andy Grove? If so, are there more key Intel people referred to in codenames? The Seventh Taylor (talk) 10:14, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

message: I was simply reading this article when a few codenames jumped out to me as familiar. As a resident of Chicago, USA, I thought I'd offer these as possible sources for Intel's names. I have no proof.
* Ashland is a street in Chicago, named after Henry Clay's estate.
* Atwood is the name of a device, the Atwood Sphere, on exhibit at Chicago's Adler Planetarium.
* Aurora is the name of a suburb of Chicago, as well as other towns in the United States, see Aurora_(disambiguation)
* Englewood is the name of a neighborhood of Chicago, in turn named after Englewood, New Jersey.
* Maywood,_Illinois is a suburb of Chicago.
* Navy_Pier is a tourist attraction in Chicago.
* Woodridge,_Illinois is a suburb of Chicago.
I've also spent a great deal of time in Denver, Colorado, USA. A few more may be from that area:
* Buffalo_Creek,_Colorado is a town in Colorado.
* Cherry_Creek_State_Park is near the town of Aurora, Colorado.
* Kenosha Pass is in Pike_National_Forest, Colorado.
This inspired me to look at other potential sources based on places, mostly using Google Maps:
* Dublin is the capital of the Republic of Ireland.
* Anchorage,_Alaska is that state's biggest city.
* Bear Point is at Lolo National Forest, Montana.
* Bighorn Peak is a place in Bighorn National Forest, Wyoming as well as in Glacier National Park, Montana.
* Canyon Peak is a place in  Bitterroot National Forest, Montana.
* Grand County is a city in Utah as well as Colorado.
* Taylorsville is a city in Utah.
Given Intel's other codenames, these are more likely:
* Zion is probably named after Zion_National_Park.
* Avalon was the codename for Windows_Presentation_Foundation, an API created by Microsoft for what became Windows Vista, which was under development at the same time as Intel's product.
* Cumberland is probably after the historically significant Cumberland_Gap.

message: * Chandler, AZ (East Valley) area names: (Chandler is the location of two of Intel's major sites)
** FYI: Sossaman and Val Vista are both major north-south roads in the Gilbert, AZ area just east of Chandler.
** Picket Post: (alt. Picketpost ) this is a well-known mountain right near the Boyce-Thompson Arboretum, a common place to visit.
** Devil's Canyon: there's a Devil's Canyon just east of the Boyce-Thompson Arboretum on US 60
Although unless someone from Intel steps up and says "That's why we named it this" in a publication, you're not going to get confirmation. My guess is some technical architect gets to pick a name as long as it's geographical.
