My line was actually a touche dig @ Apple's attempt to sue Woolworths over the use of the logo resembling an "apple", which failed miserably as their case for the suit was not only across different industry sectors but their supporting case was flimsy.]]>Nov 29th 2009 7:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/29/intels-desktop-roadmap-leaked-with-faster-i5-and-i7-introduct/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/29/intels-desktop-roadmap-leaked-with-faster-i5-and-i7-introduct/Nov 29th 2009 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/29/intels-desktop-roadmap-leaked-with-faster-i5-and-i7-introduct/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/29/intels-desktop-roadmap-leaked-with-faster-i5-and-i7-introduct/Intel has been "borrowing" from BMW's naming convention for years, from the Pentium 4/M/D series (eg: 5xx, 6xx, 7xx, 8xx, and 9xx CPUs), with the hundreds digit differentiating the class, the tens digit the performance, and the ones digit any minor variations.

Of course, neither Intel's previous naming scheme nor BMW's are particularly useful beyond the class differentiation (hundreds digit) -- there are big differences between the Pentium M 733, 735, and 738 (1.1ghz, 1.7ghz, and 1.4ghz respectively), though by the numbers themselves it isn't apparent.

The new i3-xxx, i5-7xxx, i7-6xx/7xx/8xx/9xx etc scheme does help make it a bit easier to classify microarch differences in addition to core speed and other features, so kudos to Intel for trying to clear it up a bit.]]>Nov 29th 2009 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/29/intels-desktop-roadmap-leaked-with-faster-i5-and-i7-introduct/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/29/intels-desktop-roadmap-leaked-with-faster-i5-and-i7-introduct/Nov 29th 2009 6:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/29/intels-desktop-roadmap-leaked-with-faster-i5-and-i7-introduct/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/29/intels-desktop-roadmap-leaked-with-faster-i5-and-i7-introduct/

The pentium brand was designed to allow Intel to hold on to a level of exclusivity via the name that clearly couldn't be put on to competitor's chips.

It was then found that continually rebranding for each iteration of processor was counterproductive, because of the familiarity and reputation built up over the "Pentium" name, it stayed on for a very long time.]]>Nov 29th 2009 7:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/29/intels-desktop-roadmap-leaked-with-faster-i5-and-i7-introduct/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/29/intels-desktop-roadmap-leaked-with-faster-i5-and-i7-introduct/Nov 29th 2009 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/29/intels-desktop-roadmap-leaked-with-faster-i5-and-i7-introduct/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/29/intels-desktop-roadmap-leaked-with-faster-i5-and-i7-introduct/

Actually, most PCs that are shipping are multi-core processors. The ones that aren't at least dual-core are predominantly netbooks.

While it might not be Intel's responsibility to write the code for developers, it IS their problem if they are trying to push 4 (and 8+) core CPUs onto a market that no way shape or form uses those cores to their full benefit.

And tell me, what "better" software should someone run to use all those cores if "bad" apps like 3DS MAX, MAYA, Solidworks and Premiere don't use all those cores most of the time. Short of rendering, you'll rarely see all 4 cores maxed out.]]>Nov 29th 2009 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/29/intels-desktop-roadmap-leaked-with-faster-i5-and-i7-introduct/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/29/intels-desktop-roadmap-leaked-with-faster-i5-and-i7-introduct/Nov 30th 2009 11:47AM
