bye Centrino, it was fun =)
hello "i" series, how are you doing?
man, somebody has got to sit down and have a chat with intel's marketing people. that absolutely MUST simplify this naming scheme. it's a little ridiculous.
on the plus side, at least now we won't have the disparity between the core 2 duo generation and the core i7 generation. talk about a mess...
i7=best
i5=better
i3=good
Pentium=average
Celeron=basic
atom=netbooks and etc.
at least thats how i understand it.
So the Core 2 Architecture based chips will be renamed to Pentium ?
You can actually get the break down on what specs will indicate which brand here: http://www.pcper.com/comments.php?nid=7357
Core i7 = f*king awesome
i5 = great
i3 = alright
pentium = meh
celeron = crap
atom = worthless
That's until the i9 comes out sometime in the future.
Getting sick of tired of the constant re-branding... Maybe they should just can pick something and stay with it for longer than a year or two.
...Also, what's this i-Crap? Where did this arbitrary naming come from...?
