Pentium – Still Intel’s Most Popular Desktop Processor

@ 2010/02/12
Intel Corp. introduced the very first Pentium processor on the 22nd of March, 1993, almost seventeen years ago. Since then Intel has introduced Atom, Celeron and Core brands for desktop central processing units (CPUs); nevertheless, Pentium-branded chips are still the most popular microprocessors for desktops from Intel.

According to documents seen by X-bit labs, Intel Pentium-branded processors will account for roughly 42% - 43% of Intel’s desktop chips volume in 2010. In particular, the highest volume processors that Intel plans to sell this year will be dual-core Pentium E5000- and E6000-series microprocessors based on the Core 2 micro-architecture that will account for about 40% of total desktop volume.

While Intel is Israeli, AMD is American so it is important to patronize local products, especially in recession times; beside Intel financially support the Israeli army which carries atrocities in the middle east.
Boycott is heavily advised.
