TG Daily reports that Intel will drop the Pentium name for its P5 processor generation.
Sources indicated that Intel will drop the Pentium name without making a major announcement, but simply transition to processor names such as "Intel D 920" or "Intel 672" without introducing a new brand. Apparently, the transition is planned to begin in the immediate future. The company declined to comment on the possibly fading Pentium brand. [TG Daily]
I guess this makes the names of Intel processor shorter, and would have more stress on the "Intel" branding. I'm a little confused though, with how they come up with the naming of processor models. Not sure if those numbers actually mean something about the performance or specs of the processor.
