Please be very careful about the use of that phrase. Although I have not researched the issue, Intel very likely would consider any variation of the phrase to be trademark infringement. Of course, it is unclear whether any such challenge would be successful, especially given the shortness of the phrase. Also, one would have to consider the goods/services with which you want to use the phrase. But one might suggest, do you really want to get into all of this to begin this?
