Rename "Pentium (brand)" to "Pentium brands".

There are many "Pentium" brands described here, so the article should reflect it by the plural in its name. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.157.253.112 (talkcontribs).

Rename "Pentium (brand)" to "Pentium trademark".

Since the Pentium trademark was not consistently used for one category of CPUs, as the Xeon or Celeron were, it is impossible to classify it as a name of homogenous and exclusive group beyond the P5 fifth-generation of CPUs, so the only possibility to classify it consistently in its broad meaning seems to be as a trademark, what it actually is. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 141.157.253.112 (talkcontribs).

Note: Since the problems here are similar to those at Pentium, I am refraining from editing this article at present. This isn't an endorsement of the current version, however. I simply don't think that it's constructive as any changes I make- for reasons of clarity- will likely be rewritten by 141.157.253.112 ("Anon").
Rather than getting involved in another pointless write/rewrite dispute, I'm leaving this for a couple of days to let things settle down, and then investigating more constructive ways of resolving the problem. Fourohfour 20:41, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
