Sources familiar with Intel's plans said that the chipmaker in May will begin affixing each of its new processors with a number designed to help consumers decipher how the features stack up against other processors in the same family. Intel will use numbers in the ranges of 300, 500 and 700, similar to the model numbers BMW uses on its sedans.


I was initially against the numbering system, because I thought that intel was going to go with some pseudo megahertz numbering system, ala AMD, so my thought was, why change to say the same thing? But now, I might have to reconsider. BMW Model numbers...... Hummmmmm.......

Pentium 700i?

I like the PR link to an elegant performance automobile, and Pentium 700 Series...... does have a ring to it. You could make 700e for extended 32/64, and even a 300i Celeron.

BRILLIANT!
