The first extraordinary thing is that this processor won't have the Pentium nametag. It will be called Core Solo or Core Duo, based on the number of cores. Centrino-based computers will also get Solo or Duo style logos.

This will be the first time in ten years time that Intel launches a x86 processor without calling it a Pentium. Intel also decided to give its logos an update, x86-secret.com reports, you can check out the new logos on the right.
