Intel Inside On The Out

Intel = pwned!

Worst. Logo. Ever. Worst. Slogan. Ever.

More like "Leap Behind" with the A64's domination in the gaming sector for the past year or so. Throw in the 165W TDP "Poxville" dual-core Xeon, and their pending transition away from NetBust (eventually...), and you can see the mess that Intel is in right now.

And despite all this, they still have a stranglehold on Dell. They can sure push chips, and they have many fabs that can provide (versus AMD, which announced a packaging shortage this month), but the last two years haven't been good for Intel, between the "Prescott is hot LOL" release, the axing of Tejas and Jayhawk, watching from the side as AMD rolls out the Athlon 64 series, the Opterons, and the dual-core models of both the Athlon 64 and Opteron. It seems the only records Intel has set in the past year are new high water marks for thermal design power.

It's a leap to conclusions mat, where people can "leap ahead".

I'm still annoyed with the way they changed the names of their chips.


Pentium M? Pentium D?


And you said it was too confusing before? Before, it was "The higher the number, the better" for the average user. This is just nonsense.

lol@leap ahead.

Frogs Inside.

Viiv .. this has to be one of the stupidest name ever.

That's the worst idea I've ever heard in my life, Tom.

Yes, this is horrible, this idea.

they're about as fast, and use half the power.

not quoting the bible or anything, but TDP for the *fastest* Intel Core's will be 30watts. On the AMD 64s alone it's 89Watts. Those are peak figures, in idle mode both would be less, but the Intel would probably be even better in this regard (since it's a mobile chip).

Charlie Demerjian's take on this ( http://theinquirer.net/?article=28619 ):

This much more something slogan will invoke feelings of something, and make people warm and fuzzy about that nebulous thing, just like a colour.

My excitement knows no bounds and scales like a Pentium 4 on crack. Picture me sitting down trying to keep from falling asleep with excitement, slowly twirling one finger half-heartedly above my head.

Yay.
