Now what is Intel going to call the Katmai when it's released February end? Sources tell The Register that the former contender, Pentium III, is now out of the picture. Too many characters for the special department at Intel that regulates these things. Someone reckons the family is going to be called the Pentium 2000. Hmm...too close to Microsoft. Remembering the success of the Pentium Pro family, another wag has suggested either the Pentium Prozac or the Pentium Pro Plus. But it seems the winner of the competition could be the AMDeon. ®
