Intel doesn't plan to rename existing chips, in most cases, Intel's Mr. McDonald said. Rather, it will begin using the new names as future versions of its laptop and desktop chips begin coming out.

With Intel's PR track record lately, a grain of salt is needed badly.

Certainly Intel feels they can get a competitive advantage from the naming scheme or obviously they would not have done it.

Not necessarily. They may have felt they were about to be at a competitive *disadvantage* under their old system.
