Intel to drop old Pentium name.

Quote

Sources indicated that Intel will drop the Pentium name without making a major announcement, but simply transition to processor names such as "Intel D 920" or "Intel 672" without introducing a new brand.

Rosetta is a transcoding tool that allows programs written for PowerPC to run on Intel machines.
