An Intel geek in the company lunchroom is bragging about the new Core processors -- "the greatest thing we have ever made" -- and hurts the feelings of Jeffrey. Who is a robot. Cute robots can’t fail in the Super Bowl. (Outright depressed robots are another story; see General Motors’ “Robot” from Super Bowl XLI in 2007.)

Intel used its ad time in Super Bowl XLIV to kick off a campaign for its 2010 Intel Core Processor, which it billed as its biggest product launch in five years. It was the only business-to-business marketer in that year's game. Next year that title would belong to Salesforce ("Cloud Interview," "Impossible Things.")
