How to: Translate Overclocker's and Marketing's Language


SoF

Recommended Posts

Overclocker's language: I have a good all day CPU for sale!

 

Means: Clocks like sh1t under LN2! :mad:

 

 

Overclocker's language: Doesn't like voltage that much.

 

Means: Killed another IB at 1.9V :mad:

 

 

Overclocker's language: Good chip on air and water.

 

Means: F(l)ucking CB/B on LN2 :mad:

Marketing's language:

 

Marketing's language: IB WR broken by mfc XYZ!

 

Means: Here are some backups from last year ES -.-

 

 

Marketing's language: DDR2600+ Z77 motherboard!!!

 

Means: Go find yourself a chip with a nice IMC to show people that board actually works there.

 

:D

Gamer = 12 year old overclocker

state of the art = OEM-shit

premium graphics = outdated, re-labeled low end trash from previous generations

future proof = needs BIOS-update to work with todays stuff, may have limited support for new stuff

exciting new design = we changes the colour of the heatpipes and heatsinks

voltage tweak, 50% more V = we already editied the BIOS for you and saved you 3 minutes

I've had a couple of boards, that could not do it despite that label :D

it more translates into someone once did it before we had final revision...

"Industry first" = we'll make the fail product, everyone else will learn from our mistake and make something much better

 

"New and improved" = don't even understand our own marketing, so hedged our bets on buzzwords

 

"Class leading" = niche of an esoteric of an esoteric of a niche of an esoteric niche.

 

"Ultimate" = We'll charge a mega premium for this, then tweak it slightly and gouge you again with the same marketing word

 

"xxxxMHz CPU-Z" = best chance I have of making this component look appealing for sale
