    Tom's HG says Intel is going to quit using the Pentium nameplate!


    Chicago (IL) - Intel has made a final decision to get rid of one of its oldest and most valuable brands, sources told TG Daily: "Pentium," unveiled in 1993 for its P5 processor generation, will begin to quietly disappear in the current CPU generation such as the single-core 600 series as well as the D 800 and D 900 families.

    I think they will bring it back after their sales take a dip. I mean think about it all their sales are from their pentium CPUs.
