Family 10h (also known as fam10h, or ambiguously as fam10) is a family of AMD microprocessors corresponding to the K10 microarchitecure. However, the K10 microarchitecture is additionally used in the Family 12h "Llano" dies.
"10h" (10-hexadecimal) is most correctly pronounced as "one-sixteen zero", but most people say "ten‑aitch".
Like other AMD family names, 10h ("10 hexadecimal") is a mostly-arbitrary, somewhat-sequential number, returned by the CPUID instruction, and commonly written in hexadecimal.
