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

[SoF]

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

Means: Clocks like sh1t under LN2!


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

Means: Killed another IB at 1.9V


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

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

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.

I see where this is going

From what I have picked up about marketing language:

Power user = overclocker/enthusiast
Overclocker = Only LN2 overclockers

[Apfelkuchen]

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premium graphics = outdated, re-labeled low end trash from previous generations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

Overvolting supported by MSI Afterburner = MSI: "we doesn't support overclocking"

^true story, had a rep tell me that

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