Me bets they won't even have "Core" in the name, seeing as how its an all new architecture, not just a die shrink like the Wolfdale/Yorkfield chips were.
Are you serious? How would Core 2 Trio (as a name) be better than Core 2 Quad...which we have now? How is that NOT confusing?
I think some of us might be forgetting that the post Pentium line started with Core (including Core Solo and Core Duo) and then Core 2 (yes, I know Core was basically rebadged Pentium M and was pretty much exclusive to laptops, but it was still the successor to Core 2)... That being said I think Nehalem will definitely be Core 3 or something else...not Core 2.
I can understand the argument that Core 3 could be confusing, but Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad make things quite clear and so far haven't had much complaints... Core 3 Duo, Core 3 Quad and Core 3 Octo (or whatever we'll see for any other labeling terms) Should more than do the trick, I don't see how it's all that confusing...all other things being the same, Core 3 is better because 3 > 2...Core 3 Quad > Core 2 Quad, is there really someone who wouldn't get this?
If intel wants to really avoid confusion and really emphasize the new architecture they can always skip 3 and go straight to 4. Core 4 Quad (assuming quads really will be the new standard) would certainly take care of any confusion, and there'd be plenty of marketing play with stuff like, "put some 'C4' in your system and watch your performance explode!" although maybe that would be as much of a problem considering those who are too serious
Won't happen, if it does it'd be extremely silly seeing as how Intel has already revived the Pentium brand (after saying they were retiring it) as a sort of midrange line positioned between Celeron and Core.
So why no change during the Pentium days? Pentium 4 with its radical Netburst change certainly 'deserved' a change of name probably more so than anything else... (consider Core 2 being closer to Pentium 3 than Pentium 4 is...)
Intel dropped the Pentium name to shed itself of the poor image it had acquired while in its ending Netburst days and started the new line - Core - to give themselves a clean slate to work with in marketing terms, emphasizing performance per watt...and considering Intel's major success with the new line, I'd wager that Core is here to stay...at least until (or I guess if) it falters like Netburst did and thus ended the Pentium line (as their flagship brand - obviously Intel has since revived the Pentium brand name for use in a lower midrange line, but since this line isn't targeted as a flagship it doesn't need to have the cleanest/best reputation and the brand name was obviously too valuable to just throw away so they stuck it in a tier just above Celeron)
Jesus christ relax buddy, since when was anything in this thread supposed to be serious?
No I don't think Core 2 trio is reasonable, I'm trying to have some facking fun here. Care to join us? I promise it's more fun than berating people for their silliness.

Core 2 Quad Ruiz is F'ed Edition and Core 69 are my two favorites. Maybe they could make Core 69 the lga 1166 chips and the quad ruiz is f'ed edition for bloomfield...
No reason for you to get that offended if you really were being completely silly (of course if you were, you did a very poor job of it, so you should be offended for not being creative instead of stupid). All you had to say was, "no, I wasn't being serious" and then give me a big
in reply to my very first question. No big deal. Sometimes its impossible to tell these things unless it is made completely obvious, and so I felt I had to ask.Yes, some of the users are being silly but most of it is completely lame (Core 69? yeah, might be funny if you've just been through your first sex ed class) but the OP seems serious enough and some of the posts have coherent thought to them. This isn't ATOT forum after all...why can't we have a reasonable discussion/debate on what the actual naming scheme might be?
