Core 2 Duo
Core 2 Quad
i3
i5
i7
I think versioning should stick for at least four whole increments, to establish some familiarity and a sense of stability*. I'd never even heard of i3 and i5.
*) then again, if you're Intel, people know you already, even though they may think that Pentium is your name, Intel is a software product, and i7 is just the version of a computer.

I too shed a small, salty tear for this development.
Sarcasm noted.
Also, the two movies named Crash which came out within a few years of each other, one of which is an award-winning feel-good movie and the other of which is a thriller/horror movie about people who crash cars to fulfill some insane fetish. When the newer Crash was up for an Oscar, I hadn't yet heard of it, so I was like, "the car crash fetish movie? An Oscar? Seriously?"

I personally didn't dislike PoP 2008. In fact, I finished it, unlike the original (though I'd probably finish the original too if I had it now).@blakeyrat said:

I'm also planning to see the probable train-wreck of a movie by Disney.

I don't have Pentium, but I heard it's a pretty good game. My computer has an HP CPU, the software is Microsoft, and the ISP is Google. There's a sticker that says it has lots of Intel inside it, probably to make it fast? What's this i7 nonsense? Is that the new iPod from the commercials with the annoying song?

I was not being sarcastic, just dramatic but sincere.
It's a thing I do.

What's the big deal about that? Did you never learn to count or something? I can understand the added difficulty in counting to IV, since it requires 2 hands, but even my nephew can manage it and he just turned III.

Oh hell, that's in Roman numerals? I always thought it was a reference to intravenous drug use, which makes way more sense than Roman numerals, really...

I disagree. I think Grand Theft Chariot, based upon Caligula, would make for a hell of an entertaining game. That is, as long as you don't have to go hang out at the bathhouses or Colloseum with your cousin Tiberius Gemellus every ten minutes. At least he won't be able to call your character on a cell phone, and you could probably run down his messenger with your chariot, which would be cathartic.

You forgot a few, like the 4004, 80186, Pentium MMX, Pentium Pro, Celeron, Xeon, and a lot of fun over the past four years or so.How about 8088, 8086, 80286, 80386, 80486, Pentium, Pentium II, Pentium III, Pentium IV, uhhh I lost it. Dual Core? Quad Core?
But I do think we have a winner, or can anyone top our friends at Intel?
Edit: there is actually more logic to the whole thing as it seems: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_microprocessors
There are just a lot of Intel processors that are less well known.
-
Also, it goes "i7, i5, i3." i7 came out in 2008, i5 late last year, and i3 early this year.
As a side note, I'm very happy with my i3-540. This processor and an H55 chipset board (EVGA's) got a 4.9/5.3 (Windows/Gaming) in Windows 7's "experience index" for graphics performance. The processor itself gets a 6.9 running at stock speed (3.07 GHz).

NO!
4004, 8080, 8086, 8088, 80286, 80386[SX,DX], 80486[SX, DX, DX2], Pentium[MMX], Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III[-S], Pentium 4[-HT], Core [Solo, Duo], Pentium M[AKA Centrino], Core 2 [Duo, Quad], i[3,5,7]
In that order.

The 80186 was never used in a full production microcomputer as a CPU. As an auxiliary processor, yes. The Celeron and Xeon are seperate from the mainline processors - one intended for budget garbage, one intended for high end servers and workstations, but traditionally both correspond to design families in the main "Pentium" line. For example, there are what could be called Xeon 2's (though they were the first Xeons and always just badged Xeon) which correspond to Pentium 2's. Similarly for Xeon 3's and Xeon 4's. Only recently have they diverged the Xeon R&D to be its whole own seperate monster with bespoke designs.

Cardinality is certianly important in topology! How else are you supposed to know if you need to use that pesky axiom of choice? Or transfinite induction?!

Hey, both work for finite sets as well. Just use them always. Maybe add a remark that they're only required in the infinite case, and you're safe, no?
