cyclonefr Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 im french and i think he talks about the new logo for intel etc named : "core" like the heart of the apple...so where is the worm )) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5771-has-anyone-notice-the-new-name-for-intels-cpus/#findComment-51410 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scothiam Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 im french and i think he talks about the new logo for intel etc named : "core" like the heart of the apple...so where is the worm )) yeah, I meant to draw attention to the relation of Core to apple, as in "apple core", and Intels processors now named "Core", now the "core" of "apple" computers... Oh, and the bit about the worm (also alluding to the organic apple variety), well that was a little bit of 'tongue in cheek', just being a bit naughty, really, damn I feel silly now. So, how you all doing? cheers, Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5771-has-anyone-notice-the-new-name-for-intels-cpus/#findComment-51455 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metrogirl Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I actually speak some French ... and I have never had to use the word for "Core" so I have no idea what it is!. According to my translation software it comes out as "le noyau de la pomme" but I have no idea if that's right or not. Peut-etre our Fr. colleagues can advise us?

romey-rome Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Maybe intel will change their chipsets to "worm". I guess Windows can take the "worm" title if we get the macs to dual-boot.

Doug the Impaler Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 While it's humorous (and I thought of it too), it's been a long long time since Intel started talking abotu creating dual-core CPU's meaning two CPU cores - or dies - not Apple cores. It's cute, but unless they inked this deal back in 2003 or so, then it's not on purpose.

Ouch Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Q: Why was the Pentium not called the 586? A: Because Intel added 100 to 486 and got 585.962336492 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5771-has-anyone-notice-the-new-name-for-intels-cpus/#findComment-53969 Share on other sites More sharing options...
