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 was wondering when this was going to happen. Pentium’s had a loooonnnng run as brands go in the tech industry.
Intel should rethink their naming conventions and make it a little easier to identify what chip’s best based on the name. “Intel 57087974541337 OMGWTFBBQ” just doesn’t cut it, IMO.
AMD is better anyway. :)
