Intels Processor rebranding

[PanzeR_1987]

What does everyone think about this? It seems Intel has modernised quite abit and i like it! saves all the confusion over duals coes and pentium dual cores for those people who are unsure what they are.

Their getting rid of centrino to. Love the whole new processor packaging looks

Pretty sure he's talking about i3/i5/i7/i9

Makes sense.

nVidia had done it, but ofc that was cos they were after ur 1st borns.

Aside from Rasta's ... original way of stating it I tend to agree with him.

nVidia rebrands and they are the bad guys, Intel rebrands and it makes things 'clearer'? Personally when I as average customer had bought a rather expensive i3 and found out it's actually a rebrand of a lower cpu <edit> I'd be rather mad. Fail >< </edit>.

However, intel seems to inform reasonably about it (salesmen in local shops might reverse that but the idea is there) and nVidia does not.

*quickly remembers 9800GT, GTS series and the recent GT300 fake*

 

[Rastalovich]

Agreed. Salesmen in the shops won't know wtEf.

Intel talk to people more. nVidia don't talk to no-one, cept their partners, so people make things up.

*quickly remembers 9800GT, GTS series and the recent GT300 fake*

Which is all exploded nonsense.

 

[Dja]

yea i agree but only if it was the same for the xeon processor.

 

[Bigsharn]

I like the idea, it makes it easier for the end user to distinguish (whereas NVidia was just renaming G92 over and over again)

 

[Rastalovich]

The only time the gpu has been renamed is when it's been revised.

U think it should be revised and keep the same name ?

 

[Bigsharn]

Why not? just stick "revision 2" at the end

sorted

 

[Rastalovich]

... they already put a, b, whatever on them. And they are revision changed not just bumped by name.

Seriously an unfounded argument tbh.
