no more Pentiums, intel is retiring the name

It is not a speculation...Its been announced and its confirmed. Apparently, intel chips are more "cooler" then IBM's power pc.

Out of those - go for the pentium 4 - but the new intel's - core 2 duo's are really kicking a$$ at the moment. - I'd seriously consider looking at a low end one of those even if it's a little over budget.\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819115005

I bought this one:\n\nHP Pavilion Notebook PC (DV5030US)\nHP   DV5030US  \n• AMD Turion® 64 ML-37 \n• 100GB hard drive \n• 15.4" WXGA widescreen  • Double-layer DVD+R/RW \n• 1024MB of DDR memory \n• LightScribe technology  \n\nand is great.

Sadly, the Pentium D's are pretty much 2 scaled-back Pentium 4 Northwoods slapped onto a single chipset. It's not a new architecture. They pretty much use the same decoding instructions.

It's not the Pentium 5. Conroe is based on a different architecture than the Pentium 4.\n\nConsidering that the Pentium 3 is called P6,\nThe Banias/Dothan CPUs should be P7\nAnd Conroe should be P8.\n\nThere's a good chance that the Pentium series is dead, at least in marketing terms.\n\nEDIT:\n\nNews just came in today. "Conroe," as well as the mobile version "Merom," will be named "Core 2 Duo."\n\nAbout its speed:\n\nConroe is probably going to be launched late Q3 or early Q4. Benchmark numbers quoted within the company claim that a 2.66 GHz Conroe (Core 2 Duo E6700) will outpace a dual-core, socket 939 Athlon64 FX60 (2.6 GHz) by about 17% in PCWorldbench 5, by 29% in Sysmark 2004 SE, by 30% in PCMark 05 and by 32% in Webmark 2004.

You know this topic is too extensive to cover here. \n\nThere is some good reference material covering both types of processors here: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/r_harvey/doc_cpu.htm \n\nIn Pentium class processors, there also model-specific registers  http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/r_harvey/doc_cpu.htm

r u kidding, a Pentium D is a dual core processor, that means that u have two and i mean two 2.8Ghz processors which equal 5.6Ghz and u can burn ur DVDs and watch ur movies and surf the Internet in the same time because the load is divided between the two processors,go for the Pentium D off course, that if u can Handel it's price\nNote: u will need a different Motherboard if u want to go for dual core

Pentium 4 is a single core processor that Intel is in the process of phasing out of its product line.  Pentium D is a dual core processor based largely on the Pentium 4, but with somewhat better performance per watt, that will be used in desktops and servers until more powerful chips based on the Core Duo architecture fill out Intel's entire product line.

Apple announced they will start to release new systems based on Intel processors in mid-2006.\n\nhttp://www.apple.com/pr/library/2005/jun/06intel.html

Now we are talking apples and oranges.  I my self have both AMD and Pentium processors.  It really depends on what you want your PC to do.  If you just surf the net and use your PC for email go with the cheapest processor out there.\n\nFor gaming go with a P4 or a AMD XP.  It really depends on how much money you what to spend and then you can boost that you have a P4 or an AMD and then tell people about your PC’s bench marks.   \n\nThe difference for most people is little.  Both do well.  I like both of them.  BTW I am using an AMD XP processor as I am typing this.  lol

Now its Core2 Duo, But wait for sometime you'll get Pentium Quad Core.

I would certainly not go with a Pentium 4.  The best one out right now is the Intel Core Duo (Centrino Duo is the laptop version).  This along with 1-2 gigs of ram and 80+ gigs of hard drive space, and a video card 64megs of video ram should be good for the next few yeras.  If you wnat to save money, you can get about the same thing with a Pentium M processor, but I would certainly not use a pentium 4, he/she will get no battery life out of it.  they also are very hot, and aren't very fast at all.  the Pentium M and Duo even tho it has a lower clock rate (the gigahertz) they are much more efficient per clock cycle (they do more each time, rather then simply doing a little very fast).

I would look for an Intel Core 2 Solo 2.0 GHz, with 512 MB of RAM

If your referring to the newest Intel chip its Intel® Core™2 Extreme processor
