Apologies in advance if this is a repost...
What?s the brand name of the new Intel chip, since Pentium is being dropped? ?Core?. Intel has made ?Core? into a trademarked brand. One of the most common words used to describe a processor, and Intel hijacks it in a pathetic attempt at marketing exposure. That?s right, every time you ask for a ?dual core? Athlon, Intel hopes that the idiot across the counter at the computer store will assume you mean ?Intel Core Duo?. Perhaps they?re hoping to confuse search engines, or establish grounds for a lawsuit to keep AMD from advertising the Athlon X2 as ?dual core?. I don?t know ? quite honestly, the idiocy baffles me.
