    That's gonna be a really nice CPU.
    Heck, I've figured it was gonna be the p5 for a long time, it just made too much sense for it called anything but the Pentium 5.

    $50 bucks says its called Pentium4 at the end of the day. Intel has invested more money then ever before in marketing the name Pentium4 and I don't think they are going to just up and change it already.

    Don't forget that they dumped it after the P3. While AMD was able to take it to the next level.

    It's like you dumping an old car and getting a new dragster, then someone takes your old car, hooks it up real nice, and then gives you a good run for your money.

    The number at the end isn't what's marketed, it's the name Pentium...making the number higher just lets the public know that a "new" pentium is out. By your logic they never would have changed from Pentium 3 to Pentium 4 etc.

    Ummm, Intel didn't drop x86(as I gather you think from what you quoted)after the P3, and has the highest performing x86 processor and has for quite a long time now.

    Any idea why they called it Prescott? Does this have anything to do with Prescott, AZ?

    prescott is a codename. intel has codenames for every processor they come out with...just like microsoft has codenames for their os's before they come out. nothing more than a codename.

    They are geographic references, not necessarily towns.
