Intel to Rebrand Kaby-Lake Pentiums towards

In it's latest product notification Intel is renaming the Pentium G series of processors from the current Kaby lake generation towards Pentium Gold. 

The product notification send out towards its partners stated specifically that the Pentium G4560, G4600 and G4620 need to carry the new logo and text "Pentium Gold" reports Tweakers.net today. This change also would suggest Pentium Silver models to be appearing soon, we assume the Pentium N50000 will be doing just that.

The Gemini lake  series is the successor towards Appolo lake procs that end up a lot in notebooks adn ANS units. Intel recently did the same with Xeon series processors offering Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze models.

I'm not sure I understand the marketing behind this. It's inconsistent compared to the rest of their product lineup, and I feel like in some cases it could make a Pentium Gold seem like a fancier product than an i5.

Also, it's a bit of an oxymoron. Gold represents rarity and value, but this product is a commodity and one of the cheapest in Intel's lineup. Meanwhile, if the 18-core i9 was called something along the lines of "Core i9 7980X Gold" I'd have thought that was a good product name.

Intel marketing thought things were getting too clear, and had to have a new name for everything.
Pentium Gold = Proper CPU, Pentium Silver = Atom SoC.
Makes you want to buy Intel, doesn't it..................

Looks like Intel wants their 2c/4t Pentiums to have their own brand.
