Intel is about to say goodbye to Pentium and Celeron CPU lines?

According to Neowin , Pentium and Celeron have been Intel's low-end CPU lines aimed at the low-cost PC segment with basic specifications for decades. Last year, the company announced that it would be eliminating the "Pentium" and "Celeron" branding for its mobile CPU line. As a result, since the beginning of 2023, Intel has not released any Pentium and Celeron SKUs for laptops.

Will Intel 300 be the low-cost CPU line for desktops to replace Pentium and Celeron?

While the Pentium and Celeron CPUs have disappeared from laptops, they are still used on desktops, at least until the 12th generation Alder Lake series. However, things may change soon, as a leak from a user on the social network X suggests that Intel is working on a new "Intel 300" branding for its dual-core CPUs. The dual-core concept suggests that this CPU will include two P cores and be able to operate at four threads thanks to hyperthreading. This P core is clocked at 3.9 GHz with a power consumption of 46W.

This means that the company will continue with the trend of not offering any E (energy-efficient) cores in its low-cost desktop CPUs. Perhaps Intel feels that the hybrid core design is not worthy of such low-core-count PC systems, especially for desktops. However, the "outdated" design in Intel 300 CPUs may make it unable to meet the new requirements that Microsoft has set for Windows 11.

The new naming update for Pentium and Celeron CPUs isn't the only thing Intel is doing as the company also plans to introduce a new Core Ultra name without the "i" on its 14th generation CPU line, or Meteor Lake.
