While the i7 name stunned a large number of people who first saw it, Intel is continuing the trend with the already announced i5 processors, and now, with the i3 processors. These new names mark the ongoing process of titles that the company is coming up with for its new processor lineups. The i5 chips will follow the mid-range area and probably take over most of the Core 2 Duo platform, while the i3 processors will be used for lower-end computers. Arrandale will fall under the i3 platform, while the Clarkfield mobile processors will be labeled with the i7 branding. Intel will also be cutting names such as Centrino, along with Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad in its recent naming scheme, though the Celeron, Pentium, and Atom names will be staying in the product lineup for the semiconductor company.
