It was revealed, by The Inquirer itself, that the codename " K8L" referred to a low-power version of the K8 family, later named Turion 64, and that K10 was the official codename for the microarchitecture. In a video interview, Giuseppe Amato confirmed that the codename is K10. The microarchitecture has also been referred to as Stars, as the codenames for desktop line of processors was named under stars or constellations (the initial Phenom models being codenamed Agena and Toliman). The name " K8L" was first coined by Charlie Demerjian in 2005, at the time a writer at The Inquirer, and was used by the wider IT community as a convenient shorthand while according to AMD official documents, the processor family was termed "AMD Next Generation Processor Technology".

It is commonly perceived by the PC community that from the time after the use of the codename K8 for the AMD K8 or Athlon 64 processor family, AMD no longer uses K-nomenclatures (originally stood for Kryptonite ) since no K-nomenclature naming convention beyond K8 has appeared in official AMD documents and press releases after the beginning of 2005.

Though there were once reports that the K10 had been canceled, the first third-generation Opteron products for servers were launched on September 10, 2007, with the Phenom processors for desktops following and launching on Novemas the immediate successors to the K8 series of processors ( Athlon 64, Opteron, 64-bit Sempron). The AMD Family 10h, or K10, is a microprocessor microarchitecture by AMD based on the K8 microarchitecture.
