NienorGT Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 So, as I had summit HERE Intel as officially announced the name of the Nehalem next-gen architecture as Intel Core i7 Processor. See the Press Release HERE (We still on the 10th, not 11th lol) Other than the super sexy logo, what you think about this name? (I repost it here now that it is official because I don't think the New Post is a good place to get long discussions as it will rapidly fall into oblivion in 24H and anyway, it belong to Hardware Hangout) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/656058-intel-officially-name-nehalem-core-i7/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwai lo Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 We should merge this with the other Nehalem thread in breaking news..except merge it here. Also, as I said before, why does the news release say "11th". :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/656058-intel-officially-name-nehalem-core-i7/#findComment-589633810 Share on other sites More sharing options...
afusion Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I don't feel bad I bought my AMD mobo but I bought an X2 just to complete the build. It's a temporary setup until I gather funds for Nehalem. I don't like using notebooks all the time, It's annoying..

Boktai1000 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Name is a bit weird, but I'm sure everyone will get used to it over time. Logo looks way nicer than the old style of Intel logos.

Andre S. Veteran Posted August 11, 2008 Veteran Share Posted August 11, 2008 Your sig would look better with anti-aliased round edges, Nienor. Back on topic, anyway, I find Core i7 to be a very lame name, it has no punch, no meaning, no emotion, but at least it's not as confusing as Core 2 Duo. I can't count the number of times I had to explain the difference between a dual-core and a Core Duo. But it was a smart move because people would assume dual-core CPUs WERE Core 2 Duos and nothing else, just like most people assume Internet Explorer IS the Internet, just because it has Internet in the name.
