and i think its good, if they do it right.

the P4EE is a good chip, as is the P4E, but not the P4A, and the P4C is ok. but they all come in 2.8Ghz mode,

i think thats confusing enough for consumers.

i had a hard enough time trying to convince my parents that a Pentium M is better than a pentium 4M.

now they can say, hmm i want a good but not great computer = 5xx. or i want the best = 7xx.

also if they do it right, you can say a 71x might have 512k cache while a 72x has 1M cache. and 7x1 has 533Mhz FSB while 7x2 has 800Mhz FSB, if they do it like that, the info the hardcore fans want is in the name, they dont have to hunt for it. and the consumers just know that the higher number = more performance.
