Intel debuts two new Centrino logos!

SIT DOWN FOR this one folks, Intel is about to launch two new brand new mobile platform logos! No really, I kid you not. One will be the Centrino Pro they so vigorously denied last fall, the other a new Centrino Duo logo.

Yeah, the wow would start here if MS hadn't pinched that slogan a few weeks ago. The Pro is defined as A T7xxx CPU, GM965 chipset, ICH8M chipset, and all the technologies there turned on. You may have heard of this as Santa Rosa.

In 2008, you need a Penryn, Cantiga GM or PM and ICH9M to get the logo. This will basically bring AMT to v4.0, a new spin of VT, and up the FSB from 800 to 1066. Yippee.

The Centrino Duo, now with added logo manliness, is the same thing without the VT, AMT or restrictions on the FSB or cache. Basically you can use slower chips and don't need the enterprise features.

All in all, what can we say? It is a stunning advance in marchitecture the likes of which has not been seen since the first emasculated pink and blue heart all those years ago.

Be still my beating bi-coloured heart, all hail the new logo'd king. µ
