This may be somewhat unexpected, but the legendary brand Pentium are still very strong. While Intel continues to pursue a "tick-tock" and carefully displace old solutions to new next-generation processors, several dual-core Pentium processors continue to constitute 42-43% of the total number of processors manufactured by Intel. In fact, only the processors Pentium E5000 and E6000 occupy no more, no less than 40% of the total market of desktop processors Intel.

On the other hand, it is not a very big surprise, because in the end, most of the world is only interested in the Internet, light work, basic office software and video from case to case.

Pentium is still the most recognizable brand for most ordinary users of computers, especially in emerging markets, which are major markets for Pentium. The latest addition to the family of Pentium is G6950, based on the architecture of Clarkdale, which created model processor families such as the Core i3 and Core i5.

Although Intel has prevailed in high-performance segment of the market, at the initial level, AMD still offers better performance for the same money, and it is this segment include processor Pentium. This is one of the curious facts in the marketing of accessories. While analysts believe that the Pentium era comes to an end, and replace these old-timers are processor-processor Core, it is likely that sales of Intel-branded Pentium some time remain the same.
