Not a really big significance for the codename. It came after the Palamino core and it did the job at much less heat and had a excelent overclock ability. There is a series of Thoroughbred 1700+ s/n JIHUB which run at around 1500MHz that could overclock all the way up to 2.3GHz if you had good cooling. So in a sense it was just a pure breed of the Xp line. Too bad it had a small ceiling for FSB (133) so it had to give way to the Barton (166) which is great at overclock too but way to hot.
