New Delhi: Chip-maker Intel has bid goodbye to Pentium and Celeron processors and has introduced a new chip for the upcoming essential segment or budget computers. The company has introduced 'Intel Processor' that will replace Pentium and Celeron branding in the 2023 notebook product stack. "The new Intel Processor branding will simplify our offerings so users can focus on choosing the right processor for their needs," said Josh Newman, Intel vice president and interim GM of Mobile Client Platforms.
Intel said that with this new brand architecture, it will continue to sharpen its focus on its flagship brands: Intel Core, Intel Evo and Intel vPro. In addition, this update streamlines brand offerings across PC segments to enable and enhance Intel customer communication on each product's value proposition, while simplifying the purchasing experience for customers, the company said in a statement late on Friday. Introduced in 1993, Pentium chips were first introduced in high-end desktop machines, and later to laptops.
