Funnily this will end something really annoying that stores do in my country: they call those cpus in notebooks as "Intel Dual-Core".
Celeron leaves a bad impression, maybe worth to change the name.

Some random thoughts on this:
I have seen worse naming schemes. I have also seen many better naming schemes. "I have an Intel processor, err that is not an Intel Processor, it is an Intel Core.. You know what I mean"
Wouldn't it be more sensible to standardise around one of the existing brands that already have some recognition? Like Atom.
Also it is quite telling that it is the budget brands being renamed. The Core brand (especially i7 and i9) has some status. Don't want to kill that obviously.
When did Intel last do a major renaming of their high end CPUs? After the fiasco that was Pentium 4. Then we got Core. With a minor shakeup after Core 2 to split it into i3/i5/i7/i9 (not sure if all those segments are original or if some showed up over time).
The budget CPUs change branding much more often. They don't have great goodwill, so instead they want to wash the bad performance association away by renaming.

Exactly. I don't get that move either unless they want to wreak their brand intentionally. They could have scrapped one of the two, but not both.

Let's hope they'll use this opportunity to deprecate/stop selling CPUs having fewer than four physical cores. Nowadays systems with dual-core CPUs are a pain to use and Intel dares sell Celeron G6900 (from the same generation as Alder Lake) which has just two cores and no HT. That's just ugly.Last edited by birdie; 16 September 2022, 02:09 PM.

The last thing you want, after a miserable experience with low end systems with a "Intel Processor", is to a tech-impaired consumer to run away from a Core i7, after seen the name "Intel" as the first name on the sticker.

Will somebody tell Intel marketing that most people don't buy based on the processor name inside, they buy based on the price (and sometimes the manufacturer name)? And the people who do buy based on the processor don't care so what it is named(*), they care about the benchmark results.
