Intel takes off Centrino Introduces Core i3, i5, i7 brands
Intel has announced the brand name for its new core series of processors. In 2003, Intel had introduced the first x86 chip platform for PCs/laptops branded as Centrino. The term covered a package of CPU chip, chipset and wireless network module. Four years down the line, the world's largest chip maker has decided to phase out the Centrino brand to simplify the branding of its PC chips. Intel would consolidate most of the desktop and laptop processors under the Core umbrella. Intel would be using three new names for different processor levels - entry-level (Intel Core i3), mid-level (Intel Core i5), and high-level (Intel Core i7).
