See the Press Release HERE

(We still on the 10th, not 11th lol)

Other than the super sexy logo, what you think about this name?

(I repost it here now that it is official because I don't think the New Post is a good place to get long discussions as it will rapidly fall into oblivion in 24H and anyway, it belong to Hardware Hangout)

but it is here eleventh of august ;)

so in the end it turn out it is the true name

What happened to i1-i6 :p

E.O.L codes for ol' products :yes: ;)

Your sig would look better with anti-aliased round edges, Nienor. Back on topic, anyway, I find Core i7 to be a very lame name, it has no punch, no meaning, no emotion, but at least it's not as confusing as Core 2 Duo. I can't count the number of times I had to explain the difference between a dual-core and a Core Duo. But it was a smart move because people would assume dual-core CPUs WERE Core 2 Duos and nothing else, just like most people assume Internet Explorer IS the Internet, just because it has Internet in the name.

Time for me to upgrade.

I'll buy your old stuff! ;)

Nah I dont like i7 , Core 3 would have been better and not confusing.

Possible that Apple demanded it or something? the i and all... and MS demanded the 7 :o

i for Apple , 7 for Microsoft

No, Intel's been using the "i" for years.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
