iridium is an element. i don't think its a matter of numberingarock1_3 said:Ok. but where you got the irid- What does it mean?
Interesting. And who says that you only learn computer, stuff here now this is turning into a science class. Ok starhawk you win I like yours the best, is actually kind of catchy.starhawk said:iridium... it's one of the 2 heaviest elements known to man (osmium is the other one... and nobody can tell which is heavier for some reason)

I agree somewhat. Also, "pent" implies 5 so it's redundant.undyingshadow said:I think intel is moving away from the "pentium" name BECAUSE the next chip in line is the Pentium 5. I've heard several non techy people and even a few geeks refer to the original Pentium as the "Pentium 5" because most people now days expect the Pentium designation to come with a number. I assume they called it the Pentium 5 because it came after the 486. I think they may be trying to avoid an old school (well, sort of) vs new school vs neophyte mass confusion over what people are referring to by the Pentium 5
Well I think the reason they kept the name was obvious, it was a marketing success!afong said:Even starting with Pentium 2 the name was a bit silly, since the Pentium was a way of saying that it came after 486s. So it was like "Number 5.. 2" instead of 6. Then "Number 5... 3", instead of 7.

The reason why the original Pentium was referred to as the Pentium 5 was because its codename was P5, kind of like AMD's K6, K7, K8, etc.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!! very funny... don't even have to look at your sig to know that your comp runs on a processor whose name starts with "a" and ends with "thlon"... i may be going amd myself this xmas. can't wait to see if i wind up eating my words about amd procs being worse than intels'...insanarchist said:INTRODUCING the Intel Shittium XP Processor!

they wont do that becuase the whole point about the centrino campaign has been mobility, and you cant be mobile with a desktopDanK said:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_Pro
Here's an idea: if Intel moves the Pentium-M to the desktop, why not call it "Centrino Desktop"? They've had great marketing success with "Centrino Mobile Technology," why not capitalize on that, just like they did with the Pentium name?

starhawk said:actually the pentium pro was a p1 with an onboard syscache (l2 cache). no real difference between them other than that.
I don't think I can say "Digitium"Black Morty Rackham said:"Digitium"?
Pentium, Itanium... the -ium seems like something of a pattern. Then again, there's also Celeron, but nobody buys that, right? Right?
Sort of.Lucidguy_3000 said:Someone told me that all of the Intel brand names (such as pentium, xeon, itanium, etc along with the names of their architectures) are all the names of citys and towns in some state...oregon or neveda or somewhere...i 4get exactly...anyway, i think its actually true bc i know someone who has Family in a town called pentium and another friend who lives in norwood (or however you spell it). ne way, just food for thought i guess...
Titanium is a hard, silvery-gray metallic element. Its atomic number is 22 and its symbol is Ti. It is the 9th most common element in the Earths crust. It also is found in meteorites, the moon, and the sun.
