Intel to name Yonah "Core Solo" and "Core Duo

x86-secret had a slide showing the new logos, but they've taken it down, no doubt because Intel threatened them. In any event, this marks a huge departure from the "Pentium" brand name.

The "Core Solo/Duo" name probably marks as shift away from CPUs to platforms. It looks like Intel wants to place the empahsis in mobiles on the Centrino brand name. Pentium still plays a large role in the desktop lineup, although the VIIV sticker makes an appearance as well. I suspect that Pentium is simply too strong of a brand to give up entirely, and that it won't go away anytime soon.

The Centrino logos are also modified, and there are now "Centrino" and "Centrino Duo" stickers. These are much nicer looking than the old stickers, with a smaller blue/red arrow.

Shoot me an email if you want more details... :D
