I was just amazed to see a specific CPU platform advertised to Joe Public - spent a good minute staring at the walls bemusedly.

    That's for the whole brand rather than a specific set of chips though. It's interesting that this time round that they've gone so full on marketing a particular architecture. I could just be very unobservant, though.
