"QuadFather”: up until a few weeks ago this is the informal name AMD has used to refer to their new dual-Athlon 64 FX platform. The name, coined off of Francis Ford Coppola’s famous film “The Godfather”, is meant to signify the power and respect associated with AMD’s new desktop platform. The “Quad” stands for the four Athlon FX cores that are the main attraction of the platform. Although we like the name “QuadFather” just as much, the platform is officially known as “Quad FX”.
