Where does Intel's processor naming convention come from?


Why is everything "$ADJECTIVE Lake"? And do the individual adjectives mean anything or are they fully random? I couldn't find anything online.

You’ll find most of them in here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_codenames

Many Intel codenames are real geographical features near the site where the chip was designed (often Beaverton, OR or Haifa, Israel).
