Intel Pentium 'Quad' Core CPUs?

Intel currently has Pentium Dual Core CPUs in the market.

Will Intel ever release a small cache (along with lesser features) version of the Core 2 Quad, and name it the Pentium Quad Core?

So there are three name branding here. Celeron, Pentium, Core 2 then? while AMD has only two. Aside from server and other non-desktop.

Justin, why do you only have an E4500?

I always think the same thing as kittyhawk. Why not put two E4*** series cpus together for a cheaper quad. Or the even lesser E2***s. Or the E6300 and make a q6300. Im not sure of they actually manucfactor the chips but i cant imagine it would be much different to put two lower binned dual cores together for a quad. escpially the 20s series chips that have the 4mb of cache

The lowest speed Penryn Quad will only have 6mb of cache instead of 12mb of the others.

So the answer is yes.
But the name will be a little different.

didn't I read somewhere a while back that Intel was attempting to pull away from the "Pentium" branding, partially due to it's over-hyped under-performing chip that is "Pentium 4"?

hence why they have Centrino, Centrino Duo, Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, and Core 2 Extreme??

one sec while I look for that... maybe they were just ditching the "4"

It's cheaper than most of the Core 2 Duos, has the M0 stepping which is good less heat, top it all of with over-clocking and it's really a good deal. $126 for it was not that bad in my book.

Intel is the kind of company that does not like to give its employees, Blue badges, or contracted employees, Green badges, which is what I am, discounts on anything any more unless you're one of the engineers.

Basically what I do is I'm a contracted employee through a temp agency, because I leave in January for Basic Training so I can not be considered a "full" employee, as that would mean me working there for a few years. Basically what my job is at Intel is to work in the NWPD, or as it was renamed, the OPD factory. It's located at Hawthorn Farm Campuss in Hillsboro, OR. Which is next to the widely known Jones Farm Campuss also in Hillsboro, OR. Check these links here...

They spelled my last name wrong though.

Thats Grimey. Intel should give employee's a discount no matter what kind of employee you are. Im not saying they should give a huge discount but at least give out discounts to match the tray price. If i worked for them and i had to pay retail i would get mad and end up stealing stuff most likely
