> IIRC the Pentium line did not make this mistake. (Though the Celeron line could be very confusing, if I recall correctly.) Current Pentium and Celeron chips can either be mobile variants of the Core line or... Atoms. I have a Celeron N4100 in my cheap netbook. It's listed as "Gemini Lake" in Intel ARK, which is a rebranding of its original lineage... Goldmont. (Goldmont Plus) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Celeron_microprocessors#Goldmont_Plus_based_Celerons_2 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Celeron_micropro... If you were to look at other Gemini Lake cores... You'll see that "Pentium Silver" also falls into that group. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codename/83915/products-formerly-gemini-lake.html https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codenam... TLDR: Intel has made it nearly impossible for anyone to know if they're getting Core based or Atom based mobile chips unless significant research is done beforehand. This is not to say avoid Atoms at all costs. The N4100 I have is reasonably on par with the Core 2 Q6600 quad, which was quite the beast of a chip back in its day. The current Atoms are nothing like the in-order-execution only monstrosities they originally launched as... but I still find Intel's branding a bit more than confusing. If incredibly deceitful.
