Intel model numbers will look like BMW models:

Intel's Dothan Pentium M chips will be grouped inside the 700 series, the sources said. Its 500 series will include both desktop and mobile Pentium 4 chips, and its 300 series will include desktop and mobile Celeron chips.

The company is most likely to label each chip with its family name, such as Pentium M, first. Its processor number, such as 700, will follow.

Then Intel will list clock speed, cache size, bus speed and other features that impact performance. A chip with even only one different feature, such as a slower or faster bus speed than others, would likely get a different number in order to set it apart, the sources said.
