amd athlon k7 easter texas amd cpu easter egg

AMD hid a fun Easter egg on its Athlon K7 CPU that went undiscovered until now

Easter eggs are more fun when they aren't immediately discovered
Neat: Hardware photographer Fritzchens Fritz recently stumbled across a fascinating Easter egg when examining an Athlon Classic CPU from AMD. When inspecting an Athlon K7 under magnification, Fritz discovered a logo of the state of Texas in one corner, right above a revolver firing a bullet. It is believed the state is a nod to Austin where AMD has some facilities, but the gun could mean anything (perhaps AMD firing a shot at Intel?).
