You don't have to like the terminology, but that's what is used across the field. Sorry if it's uncomfortable, and to be honest I don't care for it much myself, but them's the breaks. That's what AMD calls them, so if we're discussing AMD hardware, it makes sense to use their terminology. People in construction probably hate that computer people call things "blocks" that aren't made of concrete. I'm sure the networking people don't like it when the hardware people refer to "IPs" because of the obvious conflict with TCP/IP. I'm sure auto mechanics don't like it when mathematicians talk about "manifolds" that have nothing to do with car engines. Ambiguities in terminology abound across fields. But insisting that someone not use more or less standard terminology because it conflicts with something in another field is silly. - Dan C.
