Intel to drive home chip-numbering system

In a move that will change how millions of consumers buy their PCs, [b]Intel[/b] later this year will adopt a new system for differentiating its processors that de-emphasizes the widely used gigahertz, or clock speed.

[blockquote]The new system is a dramatic change in Intel's marketing approach because it takes emphasis away from using clock speed as a main measure of performance. Instead, the system will strive to create a scenario in which a person choosing between several 300 series chips, for example, equates the decision to an exercise in choosing a good, better or best processor, sources familiar with the plan said. [/blockquote]
