After years of using the codename Nehalem, the new-generation Intel processor finally has an official name - the Intel Core i7 processor! Like previous Intel Core processors, the new processor family will also feature Extreme Edition versions of the processor. Link : ED#99 : Intel Brands The Nehalem!
Is the rest/future of the lineup going to be core ix (x as a number)? I really like the codename, Nehalem.
Yeah, looks like that's the new trend. If you ask me, I would have very much preferred something like Core 3...
Since the greater majority of people assosiate core2 with having 2 cores (yea I know it's stupid), they had to come up with something other than core3. Well core i8 would have at least have some meaning (8 threads).
man this is confusing. this is like going from pentium, to pentium 2, and then back to pentium i7. :S
Yeah, I would have to agree... Plus, people will wonder... why i7??? Where did they get that from? LOL! From Core 2, you just to i7??? It's like Snakes & Ladders.
WHere's the 7 coming from? And where's the 'i' coming from too? Maybe the '7' means that 0-7, which means total of '8', since I heard that they use HT (4x2?)
