Intel’s Mysterious New VIIV Trademark

Over at Extreme Tech, there’s a report about two mysterious new trademarks that Intel just registered: “Intel Inside VIIV” and “Intel VIIV.”

In incorrect Roman numerals, VIIV can be loosely translated as 64 (VI = 6, IV = 4)as Intel prepares to roll out 64-bit technology later this year. Another theory claims that the logo will be two Vs separated by the II pipeline symbol, meaning the Pentium 5’s dual core chips. In either case, both scenarios prove that we all have too much time on our hands. Late breaking clarification from Intel: “Sorry I can’t help you out here; we don’t discuss speculation regarding brand activity we may or may not have in development.“
