Intel Names Upcoming Chips

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the duo-squared1 dept.

Phooey42 writes "USA Today is reporting that Intel has finally announced names for their new set of desktop and notebook processor lines, previously dubbed Conroe and Merom. The new chips for both the desktop and laptop lines will be dubbed "Core 2 Duo", whereas their new "premium processor" for high end desktop users will be called the "Core 2 Extreme". Knowing Intel, who would have ever thought that the successor to the Core Duo would be the Core 2 Duo!?"

    A bit confusing but could be worse. I'm shocked they didn't try to play the number game again, what is this 8th generation for them? Octanium, Octane, Octeron :P, OctaOMFGItsTehPwnage.

    Or perhaps their new relationship with Apple is inspring their names now, Core, Seed, Stem

    I think in the spirit of 8th generation, they should name one after Chuck Norris (who starred in "The Ocatagon"). I mean who wouldn't buy an Intel Ninjah-jah-jah 2 Roundhouse Edition chip?
