Why can't Intel just call the new dual-core chip "Pentium V",
"Pentium 5" or "Pentium 64" and get over with it?

Does this mean my 90MHz Pentium is back in fashion? I knew they'd come
back some day.

I was wondering what they were going to do, there really isn't much room
left to put more numbers and letters on the Intel Inside logo/case
badges.

Holding on to the Pentium name was silly. It's so long in the tooth
that now the Pentium 5 name would be redundant & confusing.

How bout calling it a sexyum?

sex sells, doesn't it?

It's a good thing too!!!! Other wise I could see lots of confused "techies"
when all of the sudden Intel starts talking P5 architecture
