Intel Pentium D to Succeed Intel Pentium 4.

**MIG-31** · Mar 2, 2005, 05:20 PM

Intel Corp. announced at the Intel Developer Forum Spring 2005 that the company’s forthcoming dual-core desktop processors will not be branded as Intel Pentium 4, as previously suggested by media and analysts, but will be dubbed either as Intel Pentium D or Intel Pentium Extreme Edition chips depending on their positioning.

Withdrawing from the famous “Pentium 4” brand-name should emphasize the Pentium D is somewhat different from Intel’s well-known desktop central processing units (CPUs). Having two processing engines instead of one Intel Pentium D processors will be capable of running many applications at the same time more efficiently than the Pentium 4, but the latter is likely to have advantage over the former in single-threaded apps because of higher clock-speeds, as the first dual-core microprocessors from Intel Corp. will work at 2.80 – 3.20GHz speeds, much lower compared to 3.80GHz of single-core processors.

They should just keep it linear and call it the "Pentium 5" instead of "Pentium D" the letter D in the phrase makes me think of the Celeron D.
