Starting with Kaby Lake refresh, Intel will be dividing Pentium into two separate lineup, Pentium Gold and Pentium Silver. So, Pentium G4560's successor will be called Pentium Gold G45##, while Pentium Silver will be all plain dual-core, assuming.

With the new Pentium Gold name, G4560's successor will see its new MSRP increasing from $64.99 to $84.99 (estimating), while a new Pentium Silver dual-core to replace G4400 will stay at $59.99 MSRP or under.
A new Pentium Bronze lineup is in talks too, possibly for Apollo Lake.
Good or bad idea? So, we now have Celeron, Pentium Silver, Pentium Gold, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, and Core i9, a total of 7 groups to choose from (or 8 with Pentium Bronze). More confusion than ever before.
