I think a lot is in the name. Many people I know will say something like "Oh-yeah baby, Ivy Bridge is just around the corner!" But they have no idea what the differences are between that, and what is out there now. But they know the name.
Cellular modems aren't quite to the level of mainstream as PC CPU's But is gives people something to differentiate and remember Qualcomm's products by - and maybe boost their hype.
I didn't understand difference between the naming of the API and the modem part, so thanks for clearing that up.
Also, the new logo kind of reminds me of...Firefox.
"Also, the new logo kind of reminds me of...Firefox. " That was the first thing I thought! It looks a lot like a two-color version of the Firefox logo, just rotated a bit. I guess they think they can get away with this since Mozilla is a non-profit, I guarantee they wouldn't have tried this with a large company.
Seriously? It looks completely different to me if I go look at firefox's logo. That said I think these days companies are way to eager to sue... Ahem looking at you Apple (The biggest sue'er of them all)
Let alone ivy bridge! In my place many people show that they know a lot about computers and processors by saying that they plan to own a Core i10 processor! Ci10???!!! Wow! These guys would put Intel's marketing guys to shame!
Yeah! I was wondering that I'd seen the logo somewhere but didn't strike me! After I saw ur comment, it struck me ;)
Thanks for the great article Brian! I used to think that GOBI is a group chips intended only for modems in netbooks and laptops! But the timing of the article is somewhat off the mark. If this article had been published say few months ago i.e., when the misconception was running wild, this article would have cleared these things up!
