I would just call it "ShowOff"... ;P

Nah, the question is what won't I be able to do with it! I plan to find out....

What can't you do with it? IO for one. Computing is probably another. You'd probably be better off with eight 4x PCs. IO didn't scale. Neither did RAM bandwidth. And there's a certain amount of scalability when adding processors. It is possible to even end up with a slower system than if it had fewer CPUs. You will, however, end up with something to boast about :)

For some reason it reminds me of "vitameatavegamin" from I Love Lucy many, many years ago!

It's tasty too!

When I got my first 6-core machine, I named it Sixpack. The 32 you could call the female way: "29 and a few months". A little more masculine: "The Fifth Power Machine". If you want to get historical, you could name it Germanium. Germanium has atomic number 32, and was the first semiconductor material used for transistors and diodes. What about "Twice legal"? Or is that too close to the suggested "XXX II Core"? I call my car Robert. It is a red Ford.
