PENTIUM VII...

Intel must have an entire seperate division working on these stupid names.

Whatever happened to that XIIVXI bullshit they started a year ago?

Now they've got a picture of 5 brains and if your computer sucks, you have 1 or 2 brains, but a good computer is 4 or 5 brains??????

Now the "i" could either mean "integrated memory controller (IMC)," or maybe...just maybe, Apple has something to do with this.

On a side note, a lot of other news sources used a capital "i" which was so confusing since it's impossible to differ that from lowercase "L" in which case it would be the "el-seven".]]>Aug 11th 2008 12:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/intel-oh-yeah-and-were-calling-nehalem-core-i7/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/intel-oh-yeah-and-were-calling-nehalem-core-i7/Aug 11th 2008 4:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/intel-oh-yeah-and-were-calling-nehalem-core-i7/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/intel-oh-yeah-and-were-calling-nehalem-core-i7/Aug 11th 2008 9:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/intel-oh-yeah-and-were-calling-nehalem-core-i7/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/intel-oh-yeah-and-were-calling-nehalem-core-i7/
As for "WHY NOT PENTIUM NAEM!?", I'm personally glad to see that name gone. It implied 5th generation tech, the "586", which is long, long ago. Ya, the chips are related, but far more evolved. If you want to make that argument, why not i786?]]>Aug 11th 2008 12:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/intel-oh-yeah-and-were-calling-nehalem-core-i7/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/intel-oh-yeah-and-were-calling-nehalem-core-i7/Aug 10th 2008 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/intel-oh-yeah-and-were-calling-nehalem-core-i7/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/intel-oh-yeah-and-were-calling-nehalem-core-i7/
Pentium I-IV - named as such
Pentium V - Core
Pentium VI - Core 2
Pentium VII - Core i7

Of course, I still think it's a horrible name. This is where consumers get confused because the marketing department of a company can't get it's damn act together and use the LOGICAL name for future products.

Definitely wish they had gone with Core 3. Would have made things simpler in the long run.]]>Aug 10th 2008 5:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/intel-oh-yeah-and-were-calling-nehalem-core-i7/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/10/intel-oh-yeah-and-were-calling-nehalem-core-i7/

It is not really related and Intel has been using the "i" brand for a long long time. Their first CPU where they used it was their iAPX 432 (CPU) in 1981 which is way before Apple had even thought of using the "i" brand and Intel came with the i960 (CPU) in 1988. Intel launched the i740 (GPU) in 1997, Apple came with their iMac in 1998 and their iPod was launched in 2000/2001.There are a couple of other Intel products that use the "i" brand name from Intel as well, although I'm to lazy to name those :p:.
