Intel chips get new logos, star treatment

Intel presented new and more seeing together logos for their processors of consumer-level and combos of processor-cum-play of chips, with a system to hold the first role-estimate which can produce of more than trouble than councils.

The new logos comprise the logo familiar of Intel above the names sale the core i7, core 2, Centrino, Centrino 2, atom, Celeron, and Pentium, with the small copy below the qualifiers of list such as the end, the duet, the quadruple, and the vPro.

The corner upper-right of the logos show that a section of a piece die inside piece-like colors for the families of core and Centrino, but - curiously - in blue for the others.

A logo of first order does not have any family name, interior slogan just devoted Intel. All the other logos include the limit interior in the corner low-right.

While the rectangles round-bordered of occupied-glance can not gain any reward for the simple design, when slapped on the bodies of the laptops and the desktop machines on the tight racks of the best purchase of Circuit City they will provide foragers of PC of information on the actuating processor they of a purchase 'about considering.

The new system to hold the first role-estimate, however, can finish being in rise more trouble than its value.

These rows divide the offers of desktop machine and book of Intel into five groups in the order ascending of the capacity, with Will conceal a star clinging to the lower level and the core signal-flight i7s and the core 2s being held to trust on the higher level five stars.

While the system to hold the first role-estimate is a noble goal, it has a straw mortal. The processors will inevitably slip in bottom of the scale. And when they make, their rows can change at Intel �department of sale of S, but not necessarily on racks of store or salesfolks � of the spirits.

When this first round of the rows expires at the end of September 2009, confusion will start. In early - October, wait even those strongly qualified, better whip-smart associates of sales of purchase to flummoxed while trying to explain why yesterday 'laptop of S with a mobile processor of three-star duet of core 2 is also able as laptop which arrived after the mobile of duet of core 2 Re-was held the first role to two.

The atoms, moreover, aren 't to hold the role-arranged first, thus put 't intend to see netbooks with such stickers any time soon. Asylum of Xeons 't however be new-logoed or to hold the role-evaluated first.

What is very well. The purchasers of Netbook have little reason to compare the execution, and the purchasers of Xeon put the 'need for T the assistance. �

Intel launches new chip logos, rating system

Intel improved its system badging and of estimate of processor. The consumers are the main target, although the economic systems obtain new badging too.

The new badges include an accent of the matrix (the piece without the packing) in the corner higher right, a principal mark ahead (for example, core ), and the modifier (for example, i7 ).

Intel also instituted a star system which evaluates pieces of five stars (best execution in the class) to a star (lowest execution). Ainsi when a consumer enters a better store of purchase than they can distinguish between Centrino, core, Celeron, dig duet 2, dig quadruple 2, spokesperson says Bill Calder from Intel.

It can be a little easier said that made, however. Some consumers (but not including/understanding intuitive technology Giampaolo, naturally) will need always the assistance of the person sales to decipher badging. A challenge intimidating in the case of the laptops of the consumer, which are typically plastered with an incongruous mixture of the stickers unit of piece of Intel, Nvidia, from Advanced Micro Devices, AMD 'of S ATI of graphs, and other companies.

Intel is in the course of displacement with has with, rather aggressive of plan of simplification of mark Calder said. When we launched the core i7, we said ourselves 'about displacement to a simple primary mark of customer, who is core. We 'about displacement this, of direction it said.

The processor of atom will not obtain a modifier. In the future, the processor of waiter of Nehalem, currently only marked like Xeon with a suffix of letter and number, can also obtain new hot marking to make to him more easily identifiable as an element of the architecture of Nehalem like his/her child of same parents of office the core i7, Calder indicated.

Intel changes all logos

Intel just got into business of changing logos, and we just found out how the rest of the line up looks like.

The new logo is much wider than the previous one and on the top right corner you can see something that looks like chip. Core i7 and Core 2 Extreme logos are black, while Core 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 vPro are blue and very similar.

Many Centrino logos are all in white, and the top one is Centrino 2 inside, runner up is Centrino 2 vPro followed by Centrino inside and Centrino vPro inside.

Itanium, Xeon, and Core 2 Viiv sort of didnt change their format, while Xeon will come in new blue colour, probably for Nehalem based Xeons. New logos will be effective as of April 1st, the first day of Q2 2009.

Intel New Chip Logos and Star Rating System

Intel has rolled out with new chip logos for its Core i7, Core 2, Centrino, Celeron and Pentium processors, and unveiled its Star Rating System with one star denoting the lowest performance and five stars the highest.


The 5-star level consists of Core i7 Series, QX9000 Series and several other high-end mobile CPUs. And Celeron falls to the lowest segment, including Celeron E1000, 400, T1000, 900, 700 and 500 Series.
