If you refer to the false info, the cpc464 was named from Amstrad into respect of the Commodore 364, i think the poster wanted to make a joke. I never heard this. Two concurring companies try to differenciate from each other. The amount of RAM was often used in the name.
There is the funny story that Amstrad build the cpc472 with additional, useless 8 KB ram for the spanish market, to avoid building machines with a spanish keyboard. There was a law at that time, that computers until 64 KB RAM had to have spanish Keyboards.
