Intel Plans CPU Naming Change

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the a-pentium-by-any-other-name-would-smell-as-sweet dept.

Jemm writes "According to The Globe and Mail, Intel will start using performance numbers rather than clock speed to number their chips. 'Under the model number system, processors will be given numbers to describe their performance, in addition to being described as running at 2GHz or other speed.'"
