Last week we heard rumors that suggested that new processors Intel plans to launch Nehalem platform under the name Core i7. Today, the manufacturer confirmed these rumors saying its new generation of chips will be launched under the well-established brand "Core" although not all variants have the distinctive mark i7. Apparently, the differentiator i7 will be reserved for the first batch of high-performance processors aimed at desktop computers, including a processor 'Extreme Edition' aimed at enthusiasts with options that are likely to include a multiplier unlocked for easy overclocking. Intel's decision may seem arbitrary (Nehalem platform is the seventh architecture as some speculated) but in reality this brand will be part of the current scheme and will be used with multiple IDs as new processors are introduced to the market. It is expected that the company disclose more information about the Core i7 chips at the Intel Developer Forum to be held on August 19, which also plan to discuss new techniques for saving energy that could be used in their new processors.
