Maybe not the voodoo you are thinking about but on the GPU side, the 3Dfx Voodoo was indeed a groundbreaking 3D accelerator card.

At the time, 3Dfx main competitors were Nvidia and ATI, Nvidia finally bought 3Dfx and AMD bought ATI. So technically, voodoo is on the side of AMD's competition.

Intel's name for its CPU architecture is "Core." Nevertheless, AMD discusses its CPU cores. "voodoo" and "Voodoo" need not be the same (;

Should have named their CPU Architecture the "Crore" instead ;-)
