Tech, wake up and smell the coffee. It is the COMPUTER MANUFACTURERS who want to eliminate CPU brand name recognition. Have you not noticed how computer manufacturers and retail stores are now playing down the CPU maker and implying "CPU's are all the same, the only difference is the price"? Doesn't that make the "Intel Inside" plan, with the advertising dollars that go to retailers who use that slogan, even more of a genius move? What retailer's going to give up that free money? Intel gets mentioned. Everyone else gets squat.
