Intel seems to dropping the "4" out of the "Pentium 4", we're back to
just plain old "Pentium" again.

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

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.
