Er, what is a Pentium processor? Is it 1990? The transistor count in current processors is around 700 million.

Right. Though count is in billions now (see https://en.wikipe..._count).

I checked, it's a direct quote from Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft's press release. Someone there has apparently not been updated on the number of transistors for a while.
