Expect some product rebranding from Intel then, using Killer the same way Dell use Alienware.

thats something Intel could benefit from on all brands and platforms... and probably also something I would buy.

Other way round, Rivet already rebrand Intel products as their own, nearly all their wireless chips are based on Intel ones with custom firmware and drivers. Quite a smart move from Intel as they get the best of both worlds.

I'm curious what Killer tech we'll see incorporated on the Intel side - I think that will be the real indication of which of their tech was real vs. just marketing.

Facebook as important traffic :D That's the f****** killer!

I avoided motherboards with killer networking in the past. Went for the Intel or Realtek instead, the ones I know just work.
