I was listening to an advert for an HP computer, and it was so FUNNY!
It had 2 teenagers talking, and the line that was really good was when the boy says to the girl:
"Guess what we're getting soon? A Pentium 4 3Ghz with Advanced Intel Hyper-Threading Technology."
The kid was supposed to sound like some kind of techno-dude, but anyone who knew anything about computers would know the truth: he was just spewing out Intel's marketing! I mean, what kind of computer-geek talks about hyper-threading, but doesn't mention things like what Socket it is, or what type of chip it is (Northwood, Prescott etc.) It was just ludicrous!
And if "Advanced Intel Hyper-Threading Technology" isn't an Intel marketing catch-phrase, then what is?
I know Intel are doing badly - with them coming out as the firm losers in the gigahertz war (I remember them boasting about having a 3.8Ghz chip ready for December 2004, what happened to that?) but do they really have to resort to getting the OEM manufacturers of Intel computers to use such laughable marketing?
Just something I'd thought I'd share. I hope none of you would be tempted by the lure of "Advanced Intel Hyper-Threading Technology" (with it being pretty useless - nothing more than an Intel catch-phrase.)
