Definition
奔腾 is a literary verb describing powerful, surging forward movement — originally used for galloping horses and rolling waves, and now extended metaphorically to thoughts, passions, or vigorous development (e.g. 思潮奔腾 'thoughts surge'). It also appears in the brand name 奔腾处理器 for Intel's Pentium series. The word conveys unstoppable momentum, stronger than generic verbs like 跑 or 冲.
