Intel to employ new naming scheme

The end of an era..
"Intel has informed its clients in Taiwan that it will employ a new naming scheme for its 90nm processors, starting at the end of the second quarter, according to sources at Taiwanese PC makers.

Instead of using gigahertz, or clock speed, to describe and distinguish its chips from each other, the chip giant is likely to use numbers in the ranges of 300, 500 and 700 to label its chips built using a 90nm process, said the sources."
