In what is probably just a nostaglic move the Pentium and Celeron name will live to see yet another generation. According to news emerging from Taiwan, it seems that Intel plans to market a single-core version of the Core 2 Duo earlier christened Conroe-L under the Pentium E1000 and Celeron 400 brands.
The Pentium E1060, E1040, AND E1020 processors will be released in the first quarter with clock speeds of 1.8 GHz, 1.6 GHz and 1.4 GHz respectively. These are intended to be the replacement of the Pentium 4 range, which will face price cuts in January next year and will be phased out by the third quarter of next year.
