Intel will soon launch the new processor architecture Nehalem and as expected it will get a, part, new product name. Intel has revealed the names of the first Nehalem processors and it has chosen a conservative path, which is understandable since the Core architecture has been such a success. Intel Core i7 will be the name of the first Nehalem models, which includes the Extreme Editions. The mobile versions of Nehalem and the entry models will be launch in the second half of 2009 and may very well be branded differently.
But the first desktop processors based on Nehalem will be launched in the fourth quarter and be called Core i7.
"The Intel Core processor brand name has gained broad awareness, preference, and market momentum over the past several years. The Intel Core name remains the logical choice for Intel's latest family of processors. The Intel Core i7 processor brand logo will be available for high-performance desktop PCs with a separate black logo for Intel's highest-end "Extreme Edition." Intel will include processor model numbers to differentiate each chip."
