Intel Ends The Confusion
Intel finally has seen the right direction and decided to simplify the confusing naming conventions for the CPU’s. The naming will tell more about the level of the products and the average consumers won’t need any extra knowledge anymore.
Intel still going to keep Pentium which refers to “trustworthy” and Celeron which is cheap price with an average performance and they are going to keep Atom processor name for internet based computers. In future, you would not be able to find Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Solo or Core 2 Quad processor in the market. All of these will be given a common name as Core 2 Processor. So the new names will be Core 2 i3, i5 and i7. i3 means beginner level, i5 for medium level and i7 for upper level.
