There used to be a time when Intel’s Pentium series was the company’s flagship CPU range.

After three decades, Intel will finally begin phasing out both brands.

Intel has announced that it will stop using the Pentium and Celeron brands on 2023 notebooks.

Both Pentium and Celeron remained on store shelves as entry-level CPUs for both laptops and desktop PCs.

It’s not clear at the moment if this move will also affect Intel’s entry-level desktop range.

Even if it doesn’t, it probably will down the road.

Both are dual-core, and the Pentium Gold has hyperthreading, while the Celeron doesn’t.

Otherwise, it could make Intel’s entry-level range way more confusing than it already is.
