Last P4

[Lasrix]

Well after just reading MaximumPc Mag, i noticed there was an article on the last P4s. The last Pentium 4 is gonna be 3.73Ghz.. according to the mag. So anyone hear any updrift of a Pentium 5? i guess not to likely but i was just curious.

everything is moving to dual cores and possibly quad cores. Dont know about their names yet. AMD has the FX series processors

"Pentium D" is next.

 

[Regulus]

D? What does that stand for? Dual?

 

[gaara]

I believe that's what their aiming for. It's a bit silly in my opinion, they already have the Celeron D, and now they're coming out with the Pentium D, and both will be totally different processors. Marketing scheme I tell ya.

I've also been told they've trademarked the name "Pentium IVI" but I don't know if they'll ever use it.

 

[GrimReaper23]

well why would they trademark something and never use it?

to inspire conversations such as this all around the world, marketing.

dont they have a 3.8ghz p-4 out already ive seen it in ultra high end laptops i.e. www.falcon-nw.com

If its falcon...they overclock their stuff before it leaves the factory. So it might not be a 3.8, just an OCed 3.6.
