New Intel Trademark Filed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the gross-conjecture-reigns dept.

jmanforever writes "Reuters is reporting that 'Intel Inside VIIV' and 'Intel VIIV' were filed as U.S. trademarks. The question is, what does VIIV mean? Could this be the Roman numerals for 6-4 indicating a 64-bit chip, or could this be the Roman numeral five twice, separated by two lines, indicating the dual cores of the Pentium 5 chip?"

    Pentium 525. Dunno why, but it just sounds right.

  2. stackable design? by LiquidMind · · Score: 4, Interesting

    "The Pentium V is likely to fly along at between 5GHz to 7GHz, have 2MB plus of level two cache, be built on a 90 nanometer process, and have a stackable design." (Source, and another)

    does anyone know what they mean by stackable design?
    is this supposed to be taken literally? stacking one CPU on top of the other?
    or just some buzzwords that mean nothing that this implies?
