After 16 years of marketing campaign, Intel’s tag line “Intel Inside” is now on its way out.
With the approach of 2006 and the impending release of Intel’s new processor Yonah early next year, Intel had re-examined all the logos of its range of processors. And for the first time, the new desktop processor won’t bear the name Pentium. All Yonah processors will be referred according to the number of core in it. A Yonah processor with one core will be called Intel Core Solo while a dual core Yonah will be called Intel Core Duo.
The new Intel Centrino, featuring the new Napa and Intel wifi chipsets, will also adopt the new logo scheme. Mobile processors with Dual cores will be called Intel Centrino Duo while other processors such as Pentium 4, Pentium 4 HT, Pentium 4 HT Extreme, Pentium M, Pentium D, Celeron D, Xeon and Itanium 2 will also adhere to the new logo design.
Some online newspapers had reported that the word “inside” was allegedly dropped; however, when you look at the new logo set, the word “inside” is still there.
