There's also the AMD bulldozer which glued two dies into a single package; but for those its not a problem because each die is a separate numa node, so there DIE would actually be the correct term and PACKAGE would be wrong. So while CPU sucks, I'm not sure we can come up with anything that's actually correct. That said; we could try for something less wrong than CPU :-) I'm not sure there are a lot of people who see/know the names of these domains to be bothered by a change in them; it might be limited to just us for all I know. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
