After implementing the new processor logo design scheme that consists of a rounded-rectangle that convey's which brand, brand-expander, and micro-architecture (using a portion of the die-shot) the processor belongs to, Intel has also come up with a new box-art that carries out the same purpose. Fresh stocks of Intel processors across all its brands have new box designs and case-badges.
The strategy for Intel's Core brand the company
detailed in June sparked of strong reactions from the community, many believing that the inclusion of some socket LGA-1156 and mobile processors in the Core i7 series will only end up confusing buyers as it also affects decision making on the rest of the platform and its upgrade path. Intel for now seems to have come up with a solution. Boxes of Core series processors will have a badge on the lower right corner that tells exactly which socket the processor works on, and which model the processor is. Its implementation can be seen on the recently
pictured boxes of Core i5 750, and the new box of Core i7 920, pictured by AKIBA PC Hotline.
