Intel is killing off its Pentium and Celeron branding

For decades now, Intel has been releasing Pentium and Celeron series processors to serve the mainstream PC market. Now, Intel is officially doing away with Celeron and Pentium, replacing both with a new line-up of chips simply named ‘Intel Processor'. 

Today, Intel is announcing the Intel Processor, a replacement for Pentium and Celeron series chips. Just as its predecessors did, the Intel Processor will primarily ship in entry-level PCs and laptops across the world.

The Intel Processor will begin replacing Pentium and Celeron products in the notebook/laptop space in early 2023. Intel says this move is in line with its commitment to “raising the PC standard across all price points”.

The Intel Processor family will act as another pillar alongside Intel's other main chip families – Intel vPro, Intel Evo and Intel Core.

KitGuru Says: This is the end of an era, but Intel will still be serving the entry-level market, but future chips will now fall under a new, simpler and unified brand name.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
