Intel is cross using P4 and Pentium 4. Nowhere they call it P7. Nowhere they talk about a P5 or Pentium 5 either to get released. A few years ago P5 and Pentium 5 were cross used too at the internet *everywhere* also by intel. So they impossibly can call the follow up of the P4 a Pentium 5 :) >The number after the 'P' is the chip generation. Each generation represents a >fundamental design improvement.
