Nehalem brand name will be...

[AmberClad]

So you're convinced it'll be something completely different, huh. Yeah, I don't know how they're ever going to top "Core". Wow, what a doozy that one was. The pinnacle of creativity, to be sure .

What about "Ion"? It's just about as stupidly simple, meaningless, and short as "Core".

You know when AMD went from having that wicked cool "sledgehammer" codename to calling it "Opteron" for marketing I absolutely gave up ever trying to guess how badly farked up the marketing teams will name things.

Sempron? Celeron? Really guys, that's the best you can do with your liveral arts degrees? When does Moron get released?

We are guaranteed whatever Intel names Nehalem we will all go "oh that is f'cking tarded" and then we'll promptly move on to the more enjoyable aspects of the AMD vs Intel debates.

Core-name for processor that isn't Core-architecture would be confusing.

Adding my two cents:
Intel will surprise us and name it Pentium 5 !

 

[dv8silencer]

Core 3 Quattro Duo Ultro Magnifico
Quattro = 4 cores
Duo = SMT
Ultro = No reason

Core GTX

Branding/marketing has nothing to do with what's under the hood. The Pentium 1, 2, and 4 are nothing alike, but Intel stuck with a successful brand name. (The "Pentium-M" was an entirely new design team, and the basis for Core!)

Also note that "Pent" is the prefix for the number 5, and represented what would have otherwise been called the Intel 586 Processor. The Pentium-II, built on prior Pentium Pro designs, would be the 686. And so on, except they changed to a new naming scheme.

The name Pentium has run its course, and now represents old technology. Core is its shiny new replacement, and Core products are a HUGE success in every way. We will have this name for several more product generations.

Figuring as they've come up with Atom, I see Molecule in the future but that may be too many syllables for Intel.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

Core 3 Quad/Octo (there is a Duo planned too, right?)

And of course, there will be a $1199 Core S3X Edition

Do you really think "sledgehammer" appeals to the kind of people they're trying to sell opterons to?

I think Core 3 would put some confusion as to how many cores are on the cpu. It would either have to be an entire new name or a change of the suffix derivative.

Well anyone with half a brain would remember the Core Duo that made it to mac's and laptops. The Core 2 Duo is the further design. I would think a Core 3 would be right on par and then they can just tag the core design at the end of that.

it probably will still be core 2 seeing they haven't done the monolithic design like AMD's true quad core

Nehalem will indeed be a monolithic design.. multi-core on one piece of silicon.

 

[zsdersw]

How about "Octeron"

I very much doubt that the people who make purchasing decisions in the market segment to which Opteron is targeted could give a dam what the chip is called.

My point was that "sledgehammer" meant something positive to some people (enthusiasts) and meant nothing to other people (purchasers in server segment) whereas "opteron" meant nothing to everyone.

At least sledgehammer carried with it the connotation of a chip that was intended to get a job done with prejudice at a time when AMD needed to drive an image of such while attempting to break into new market segments.

Coregasmo

on a side note has anyone seen the Trey Parker and Matt Stone movie Orgasmo?

 

[PlasmaBomb]

How about Core XPE

xtreme phantom edition....

Damb it I meant platinum edition

 

[Bateluer]

Likely Core 3, or simply Core with a different model numbering scheme.

 

[RallyMaster]

Intel needs the Pentium name back for their higher end desktop lines.

Yes I have. I find it to be very funny.
I still think my idea for it's name is most likely.

maybe they will call it pentium 5
