Intel Core

2006–2009


​Intel launched the Intel Core processor brand in 2006, together with its current corporate logo, designed by FutureBrand.

2009–2011
Several months after the launch of the Nehalem microarchitecture (and the Intel Core i3, i5 and i7 processors, based on that architecture), all logos for Intel processors were updated (by FutureBrand), including the logos for the previous-generation Intel Core 2 CPUs.

2011–present


In 2011, Intel unveiled new logos for the "second-generation Intel Core processors", based on the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture (and these logos are also used for the Intel Core chips based on the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture, a.k.a. the "third-generation Intel Core processors"). Nehalem-based Intel Core CPUs remained with the 2009 logos.
