'Intel Inside' No More
Randall311 writes "The Inquirer is reporting that Intel is getting rid of its tagline 'Intel Inside' and plans to run a huge logo launch this January. Apparently the new logo has been seen in internal documents already. 'Intel Inside' has been with us since 1991. I guess now all thats left to update is the 'Idiot Outside' that doesn't know anything about using a computer."
... I believe these are the new logos from my Blue Man Group's forum. I was asking if the three famous blue men would be back for the new launch like in the past.

From the original article on X86-Secret.com, it sounds like the new chips will not be using the Pentium branding at all. It's just Intel Core Solo and Intel Core Duo from now on.
Breakfast served all day!
When you talk about video encoding intel is pretty good because these are the programs which benefit most from high clock speeds, since most processing is limited to registers/L1 and use a lot of SSE2/3

I've had a perfectly fine experience with the AMD 386/40. I ran a linux mail server off one for several years without a single crash. It ran distributed.net clients, and other processor intensive apps 24/7 without a hitch. The only problem I experienced with the machine was from very old hard drives, and a worn out power supply. I've still got the machine (finally retired it after I needed more horsepower) and I'm sure it would fire up just fine if I had some reason to use it.
I really don't know why you had such trouble. The chip itself was identical to the Intel version. Maybe you had a poor quality motherboard?

this is the 'non-porn' actual new logos (I think)
MacDailyNews has the new Intel logo and link to all the rest of the Intel logos

I bought a computer for a friend a week ago. He didnt know much but he knew he wanted the 'real thing'. In other words of his, 'real intel stuff' or 'genuine stuff' or 'should be intel inside for real'.
So I dug deeper into his questions. He remembered the K5 from AMD and its troubles. He remembered people trying to pass the Cyrix processor off as Pentium MMX chips, while the real Intel was expensive. In many countries sellers had no issues marketing the Cyrix and K4 and K5 as 'Intel Pentium' and even as 'Intel Cyrix' in places, to make the point that its EQUIVALENT to those chips. The Pentium was the more stable one in those days.
How times have changed. I explained how AMD is leading now and the only other company is Intel. Others like Via and (RIP) Transmeta dont even TRY to tackle AMD and Intel head-on and just market themselves as low-power mobile chips and such. 'Intel Inside' is now a bad thing. It means your 64-bit architecture implementation is either a bad copy of AMD or a bad failure (Itanium). AMD, as long as its not one of those early Athlon chips which could turn a house in Antarctica into a sauna, means good chips, better bang for the buck, and now means the only way to go if you want 64-bits and x86 in the same bag (or if you want Microsoft and 64-bit).
We bought an Athlon-64 machine.
