Intel to Rebrand Kaby-Lake Pentiums towards Pentium Gold

But but but i want Pentium Platinum
Jesus Intel with every new day looks more and more like kindergarten instead company with grown ups

 

I'm not sure I understand the marketing behind this. It's inconsistent compared to the rest of their product lineup, and I feel like in some cases it could make a Pentium Gold seem like a fancier product than an i5.

Also, it's a bit of an oxymoron. Gold represents rarity and value, but this product is a commodity and one of the cheapest in Intel's lineup. Meanwhile, if the 18-core i9 was called something along the lines of "Core i9 7980X Gold" I'd have thought that was a good product name.

 

Intel marketing thought things were getting too clear, and had to have a new name for everything.
Pentium Gold = Proper CPU, Pentium Silver = Atom SoC.
Makes you want to buy Intel, doesn't it..................

 

Looks like Intel wants their 2c/4t Pentiums to have their own brand.

 

this brand already exist... it's "PENTIUM" but now they add extra segmentation... with 1 or 2 unit in each of those, i don't know what they will do???

will a Celeron gold be as powerfull as a Pentium rusted metal??? who is the more powerfull Rhino or Elephant??? ketchup or mayonnaise??? ... so much awnserless question lol

 

Instead it became a company of grown downs...

 

does Intel want to hit us about the new Pentiums prices ?

 

You mean, to HINT?
Yes, or, maybe, the copper printed tracks will be swapped for golden, he, he...

 

So they're actually trying to polish a turd

 

Gee Intel, now I want i9 gold.

 

Shiny name change to convince plebians to buy it when there are better options from the competition.

 

Is this a new currency ? If you want to buy i7 it will cost 4 Pentium Golds

 

If gaming in 2017 has taught me anything, I expect these gold CPU's to require micro-transactions where you buy "platinum" from Intel to unlock extra cores and features.
It's sooo obvious guys, this makes TOTAL sense.

 

Yep hint was what i though i wrote !
