isnt' that 64?? that looks way cooler than a64.. LOL

its roman numerals for 64 but has been done a dumb way, the proper numerals for 64 are "LXIV"

maybe george bush now works for intel :rolleyes:

NO KIDDING!! You don't even live in the States :rolleyes:

I think that VIIV looks way better than LXIV

it may very well LOOK better but IMO companys should stick to whats correct and not what looks good...

Ya, look at what happened with Rolaids. When you ask kids in school to spell relief they spell it Rolaids!! :lol:

Those who are against the use of such "strategy" maybe should begin voting against the use of abbreviations, new marketing names, etc. as well. Whatever the intent and purpose of that isn't all about "spelling" or "correct numbering".....maybe people should think about "branding recall"...

I'm sorry, but the Pentium LXIV would be a marketing joke, that sounds ridiculous.

VIIV is stupidly simple & unique which is much better for marketing than LXIV would be.

Which is more catchy?

VIIV
or
LXIV

I would it rather be LXIV...sounds better to me

yeah simply the "X" in LXIV makes it sound so much better! :eek:

XXXIX = super bowl 39. How did you guys get VIIV as 64?

DanIdentity

XXXIX = super bowl 39. How did you guys get VIIV as 64?

VI = 6
IV = 4

thx DanIdentity, Pentium 64 sounds really catchy , i like it.

01-28-2005, 03:24 AM

but all that possibly makes sense as is 6 4. Man i hate it when ppl rewrite rules for things that have been around for thousands of years just because "it looks cooler".

Northwood

01-28-2005, 03:43 AM

another thing that VIIV could mean is, pentium 6, 4-core (quad core)

that would be even better :D

01-28-2005, 03:44 AM

I dno bout you but I certainly wouldnt buy a product that had made up fake numbers on it.

xsky

01-28-2005, 04:20 AM

omg even it is meant to be a 64 I don't think it's so horrible to write it that why.

on the one hand it really looks cool because of it'ssymetric and on the other hand I saw mathematicians "violating" roman numbers years ago...it's not that new

domwells

01-28-2005, 05:29 AM

It seems like an odd move to me... since they brought out the Pentium III then went to the Pentium 4 not IV... I thought they did this to stop stupid ppl from getting confused.
So bringing out a Pentium VIIV would just be silly!

No, LIV to me makes it sound catchy-er :D

Story link and fair use quote:

Intel's mystery mark sparks intrigue (http://news.com.com/Intels+mystery+mark+sparks+intrigue/2100-1006_3-5552156.html?tag=nefd.top)

Recent trademark filings from Intel are raising speculation that the world's largest chip maker may be preparing to create a new global brand. The question is, what does VIIV mean? "Intel Inside VIIV" and "Intel VIIV" were filed as U.S. trademarks last month by the Santa Clara, Calif.-based chipmaker, known for its Pentium and Centrino brands.
Donnie?

Sorry, I've been away.

"Intel watchers have a few hypotheses on the meaning of VIIV. One is that the letters are Roman numerals standing for 6 and 4, as in 64-bit technology, a feature that Intel is introducing in its chips this year."

I asked my bud and he said it has all to do with two Processors, Two Cache lines. Their take on 64bit is what I'd say.

But don't you think it would have been even cheeser if they named it something like "Pentium 6 to the 4"? This Pentium VIIV might be pronounced Pentium Six Four. I like the other guys take on this. "Pentium 6, 4 Core"
:slobber:

Here's what I really think though. It might just be something simple like Dual Core should as a simple core "mirrored". Think about it. The image on the left is reversed/transposed of the IV on the right. Like VI = reflection of IV. Example, "VI|IV" because that's how the cores will sit on the package as we talked about before. Dual Core Dothans are arranged the same way.

pentium 64, haha... why don't they just call it the "not AMD64"

it looks like a cheap rip off to me of the AMD64 name.

Why would you call it a "cheap rip off"? Is AMD's versions of x86, MMX, SSE1, SSE2 and SSE3 (just for starters) cheap rip offs of Intel? I agree that Intel should call it simply x86-64 and give AMD props though. Intel has done this with HP, IBM, Compaq, DEC/Alpha and others. Intel had a version called I32-64.

This "VIIV" sounds like typical Intel marketing hype to me...but who knows what Intel's marketing division has planned.

They may not even use the "VIIV", but have trademarked it in the event they decide to use it...and so no one else can use it.:rolleyes:

Call me old-fashioned but "64" works fine for me :p:

VIIV is 8 isnt it?

P8 core? Pentium 8xx line? I think those are more likely. Does intel have IV, V, VI, VII trademarked also?

VIII is 8. VIIV isn't a proper roman numeral, the best guess is that it is a combination of the roman numerals for 6 and for 4
VI = 6
IV = 4

oh yeah, they change at third repetition not second.. my bad ;)

FUGGER

01-31-2005, 12:15 AM

Let me sum this up real fast for the guessers to stop picking at the obivous.

Intel trademarks all sorts of variations every year, im sure dozens if not hundreds of things per year. It may never be used and it cannot be used by anyone else.

SPL15

01-31-2005, 06:22 AM

Did they trade mark 1000000 and 40 and 100 and 0110 0100 for 64 in binary and hexadecimal and octal and BCD too?

Lots of big companies trademark things that they never use. My corporation trademarks some real stupid stuff so no one else can use it..... Kinda a waste of money and time in my opinion

domwells

01-31-2005, 06:27 AM

Well if they havent got "Intel Pentium 0110 0100" trade marked yet I'm there!
How does one go about purchasing a trade mark?

Carnajo

01-31-2005, 08:14 AM

Head down to your local attourney and ask them to register a trademark in your name. If they don't do trademarks they'll refer you to one who does,

P.S. since "Intel" and "Pentium" are already trademarked, you might have a problem trademarking "Intel Pentium 0110 0100".

SPL15

01-31-2005, 08:57 AM

Why would you want to spend the money to trademark a product you dont have and for a company you dont own??

I dont think you can get a trademark just to have a trademark if you dont have a product, business, service that it would be attached to.

If you could I'm gonna trademark XXX and sue all the porn sites that use it :D

I don't care what features the CPU has.

I am saying that AMD already uses the
"64" in thier name, so intel just naming thier CPU's intel 64's just sounds like a cheap rip of, or lack of a attempt at coming up with a new unique product name, and instead went for the obvious.

Sure, but AMD doesn't have 64, 64bit or etc. to itself. Am I missing something here? So is AMD's 64 a Cheap rip off of Alpha, Itanium, Power and other 64bit-ness before it? NO, please don't talk about for the Desktop either. Some of the posts here make it seem as if the only other 64 bit in the world is AMD. I said Intel should use AMD's name for it and call it x86-64 to clearly mean AMD's work and not Alpha, Itanium or Power or anything else. That not talking as an Intel Fan but just plain common sense.

Intel gave props to IBM, Alpha, MIPS, Motorolla and just about everyone but AMD. This time they clearly should do what's right.

Speculation I've heard said this is what intel will be branding the Vanderpool virtualization technology - but, as FUGGER said, who knows, they may never use it . . .

jjcom

02-04-2005, 09:09 PM

yeah, Intel doesn't want to say where the tech came from. AMD is a dirty work for Intel lol. But yeah agreed, Intel should have something about AMD with the x86-64.

If Intel forgets to renew their trademarks every 5th and 6th years, or otherwise abandons the marks, they can be used by others. ;) (ask Microsoft if this sort of thing could happen, LOL).

And of course they can be licensed. :D
