Intel explains new Core i3, i5 and i7 CPU branding - [hardware]
06:22 AM EDT - Jun,20 2009 - post a comment

Intel has spelled out its branding for the upcoming Core series of processors including the 'Lynnfield' and 'Clarksfield' chips. The chipmaker also said that 'Centrino' will be phased out as a PC brand. In a post Wednesday on Intel's website, spokesman Bill Calder wrote that the branding will be 'simplified into entry-level (Intel Core i3), mid-level (Intel Core i5), and high-level (Intel Core i7).'
The upcoming Lynnfield chip (desktop) will be available as either Intel Core i5 or Intel Core i7 depending upon the feature set and capability, Calder wrote. Clarksfield (mobile) will have the Intel Core i7 name.
Arrandale (32-nanometer mobile) will appear as the Core i3 but will ultimately span the Core brand to include Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7. Clarkdale (32-nanometer desktop) will be available under the Core i3 and Intel Core i5 brands, Calder said.

The widely-used Centrino moniker will be phased out as a PC brand, according to Calder. Centrino "will be used as a name for Wi-Fi and WiMAX products" and "still be in market on mobile PCs into next year," he said. But eventually will be discontinued.

Intel also disclosed other branding. "We will still have Celeron for entry-level computing at affordable price points, Pentium for basic computing, and of course the Intel Atom processor for all these new devices ranging from netbooks to smartphones," according to the post. "For PC purchasing, think in terms of good-better-best with Celeron being good, Pentium better, and the Intel Core family representing the best we have to offer," he wrote.
