Chipmaking giant Intel has announced a new effort to . it rolls out to the market—and possibly reduce consumer confusion about what processor they need (or want!) in their next latest-and-greatest system. Joining the existing Corei7 processor line will be new Core i3 and Core i5 lines: the Core i3s will appear early in 2010 and focus on the entry level market, Core i5s will focus on mainstream computing uses, and Core i7 processors will continue to occupy the high end of the company’s lines. The i3, i5, and i7 liens will be collectively marketed under the “Intel Core” brand.
