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)

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.

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

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

    • What browser do you prefer to use, and why?

      By +Edouard · Posted

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with adblockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Opera Air'. It still has some bloat, but nowhere near as much as Brave browser, for example. I have a system wide Adblocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the the web browser, but over the whole thing. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt adblocker because of that.

      I'd trust open source stuff on github more then closed source binaries from Microsoft.
