Obviously, not as good as "Intel - Idiot Inside" but they do reference AMD's lawsuit against them. ; ) How about : “Intel – plea ahead” or “Intel – load a’heap” or “Intel – heed a’plea” ?

I have it in my desktop right now and I can still overclock and use other kick @$$ hardware. I'll stick with Intel for now until I can see AMD is truly a superior product (it is right now) for a year or more. To John Schumann: So you think Feds are going to go after you for just reading the Red Book? I have multiple copies of it in Chinese (orginal), English, and electronic versions of each.

besides sell more iPODs to a trapped iTunes market until that market implodes as well…

It seems more of a step back than a leap ahead? It will never make it on the face plate of a computer I'll ever own!

We've been implementing it in an Intel OEM product at work. Since you’ve found the logo on your own accord, I can confirm that is the new logo.

Maybe so but if the MAC Office was so damned much better why is it not the market standard instead of Windows and INTEL. I've said it before here. If Steve Jobs truly had the balls of a grow'd up man he'd market a boxed version of his "revolutionary" OS X to the billions of INTEL users currently on the planet and then we'll see who has the best OS. Once and for all. But wait, then Apple couldn't sell over-priced shiny boxes that claimed to be super computers now could they. Because everyone would be running the same OS as Apple's over-priced, shiny boxes and then what would Apple do... besides sell more iPODs to a trapped iTunes market until that market implodes as well... Happy New "Monopoly" Year :) What is really funny here is that now Apple has taken the Lemming Leap to Intel and is going to have to try and undo nearly two decades of marketing that called PC users stupid, lemming-like creatures who live in the dark ages of computing.

Did not Chairman Mao speak of a Great Leap Forward? Why else would it say "Leap" in the logo? Note to FedGirls: I've read Chairman Mao's Little Red Book: Come and get me.

It will take more then Intel changing their logo to make me buy another Intel board. Me and my AMD machines really don’t give a poop.

I'm sure a logo helps sell many computers, particularly to the less technical savvy consumer. I can imagine the confusion the confronts a non-technical consumer while shopping for computers at a big box store. They may not have heard of AMD, but they've seen that Intel logo. Chances are the Intel boxes are more expensive at retail level, and commissioned sales people have been known to point out, "this is an Intel computer" Intel is one of the worlds most recognized brands.

I worked with Japanese firms for years, back in the 70's. This is exactly the kind of slogan that worked in Asia -- so, everyone would transpose it to the US and Europe and watch it land like an overcooked gnocchi. My worst favorite -- from Fuji Heavy Industries -- was "ever onward". Like you have a choice? I don’t think the font is any big deal — but, the slogan?
