Did I ever say that this was intels fault. Does it say that in my thread??? You know what? Its your fault. Yea thats right I just made it your fault.
All the post said was that Intel had a very good marketing technique. Is that ok buddy?
Because your dad doesn't know the difference between a Core 2 Duo and a P4 it's Intel's problem? You said it was "Genius marketing at Intel" which insinuates that you think their marketing is crap and you think it's their fault. You put your foot in your mouth. Just deal with it.
The "..." does rather infer sarcasm/irony. Therefore, in pointing out this really had nothing to do with Intel, just your dad's mistake, is there really a point? I'm sure when the Ipod came out some people bought el cheapo players just to get on the MP3 bandwagon, but it's not Apple's problem.

The real trickery is that people get 'core 2 duo' and 'core duo' confused.... Commoners don't know their is a major difference between them.... Intel did that on purpose....
And lets not forget the pentiumHT - which came after AMD's HT(Hyper Transport) technology.... Intel also did that to confuse people....

Perhaps. But you need to look at it from a brand point of view. Having two similar names builds up recognition for both products.

Yes, the dirty capitalist pigs. Sony and their PS2, Intel again with the P2/3/4, game developers and their "[Name here] 2" sequels. Double damn to Squaresoft and Final Fantasy... up to 11 and 12 now.
Damn all these companies for not anticipating that customers can't tell the difference between numbers and not numbers.

Not the same thing.... People have been automatically thinking pentium for years now, so when their buddy tells them get one of those new 'core chips'(their buddy meant core 2) - they don't know their are 2 different cores.... YET.... Yes they will figure it out by core 3....
Another way for me to say this is:
they came out with 'core' & 'core 2' so close together - people don't know there are 2 models....

If someone doesn't know the different between a Preshott and a Core2 Duo then they're hardly going to realise the difference after they buy a prebuilt system with a nice shiney new XP install. It's going to be a fast rig.
It's not like the jump between a Playstation 1 and Playstation 2. To most people it's not a difference they can see.
I have been watching these forums for about a year now but have never felt the urge to get involved, until now!! The reason I have not got involved is because the vast majority of threads end up in arguments with people just flaming each other and basically getting nowhere. The reason for this, as far as I am concerned, is rude, ignorant halfwits like bixplus and 306maxi. Not only do you completely miss the point of the thread but the third post is slagging off the original poster's father. Where the f**k do you people get off?? Personally, the likes of you should be banned until you have the courtesy to respond with some degree of respect for others. I would suggest that if you have nothing constructive to say then just shut the f**k up as people are not interested in your ignorance and blatant stupidity.

good point!!!!
But they may overpay for a core1 - thinking it is the hot chip their buddy told them about.... So it is still sneaky to come out with 2 core models so close together time wise....
ps. isn't a core1 really a pentium with another name?

Yes. So they should have a) NOT released a processor so soon that turned the market on its head by making a $999 CPU worth about $180 or b) thrown away the brand they're trying to create. When the P2 came out, did you whine about how close it was to "Pentium"? Or how close the "AMD 4200+ 939 X2 CPU Retail w/ Fan" sounds to the "AMD 4200+ AM2 X2 CPU Retail w/ Fan", even though if you buy the wrong one it probably won't fit your motherboard?
