izzit really hard to do researching on your own?

-Intel scrap the word "Pentium" just to forget about the time when they're loser.
-Processor now use model number because AMD proved that, the speed of a processor is not appropriate to measure with "GHz", but "intructions / works per cycle" ... something like that, because there're other factors that can contribute to speed ... not only "GHz".
