Intel Kills Celeron and Pentium Branding with new "Intel Processor" Naming Scheme

Today, Intel introduces a new processor for the essential product space: Intel Processor. The new offering will replace the Intel Pentium and Intel Celeron branding in the 2023 notebook product stack.

"Whether for work or play, the importance of the PC has only become more apparent as the torrid pace of technological development continues to shape the world. Intel is committed to driving innovation to benefit users, and our entry-level processor families have been crucial for raising the PC standard across all price points. The new Intel Processor branding will simplify our offerings so users can focus on choosing the right processor for their needs." -Josh Newman, Intel vice president and interim general manager of Mobile Client Platforms
With this new, streamlined brand architecture, Intel will continue to sharpen its focus on its flagship brands: Intel Core, Intel Evo and Intel vPro. In addition, this update streamlines brand offerings across PC segments to enable and enhance Intel customer communication on each product's value proposition, while simplifying the purchasing experience for customers.

Intel Processor will serve as the brand name for multiple processor families, helping to simplify the product purchase experience for consumers. Intel will continue to deliver the same products and benefits within segments. The brand leaves unchanged Intel's current product offerings and Intel's product roadmap.

GoldenXDoes it include FMA and AVX2 Intel? Or will it still be 2007 trash?
AMD is giving AVX512 to all, yet Intel can't give you extensions from the Nehalem days in 2022.
They should, unless they regress the feature sets of future chips. The Tiger Lake and Alder Lake Celerons and Pentiums have FMA3 and AVX2.

Truth be said, AMD 3020e processor exists, it found its place in Windows notebooks below 300 EUR with 4 or 8 GB of RAM. That's where those brand-free Intels fit too, right?
