Two reruns in a single month? What is the world coming to?

Outside issues got in the way of the normal update schedule this month, and so you, dear reader, were left with 2 reruns mixed in to the new content. It may even happen again once next month, but never mind that for now.

Probably the most interesting new release of the past month asked the question Where do they get their codenames? This initially seemed like a fairly straightforward article to tackle, but AMD threw a wrench in the works with their numerous approaches to codenames. Unraveling that proved to be a bit of a challenge, but revealed a few surprises.

The recent release of Centrino 2 has provided enough motivation for a significant overhaul of the Big Platform Guide, which has not seen any major revisions in some time. That will probably be within the next week or two.

Speaking of updates to Big Guides, plans to expand the Big Processor Guide are rolling right along. Expect to see more on that later in the month.
