Intel: We 'Forgot' to Mention 28-Core, 5-GHz CPU Demo Was Overclocked

This is a new one to this old dog. 2k18 is 2018. 1k7 looks to me like 1007. Much shorter to use 1.7kW which most know how to parse to 1.7 x 10<sup>3</sup> Watts.

I can vouch for the fact that 1k7=1700 is a common convention. It comes from the face that . can be hard to read sometimes. You often also see something like an “0R5” resistor which is 500 milliohms.

More common in EE contexts than anywhere else.

Sorry to break the news, but 2k18 is 2180. You're a few years off.

It's not. "2k" is pronounced "two thousand". "2k18" is "two thousand eighteen".

For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NHL_2K
