It makes sense from Intel's point of view.
The average consumer doesnt want to research what makes a processor "fast", they just want it without having to look into it.
Thus Intel makes AMD's naming scheme obsolete and makes one that is consumer friendly.
IE.
Clerk: "Yes sir, this Intel P4 7xx series is very fast. Much faster than anything else on the market."
Consumer: "Mmmm 7 is fast-like"
The average person wont know what the numbers after the series number means, but the salesperson can use this to make the processor sounds more 'impressive'... WHereas, the XP2500+.. Yah thats pretty much it. Thats its speed rating.. Nothing fancy.
