Quote from: CtrlAltDel on August 21, 2025, 11:10:23 AMI've long idly wondered why these numbers always ended in 86. Was there ever a 586?

The original Pentium was the 80586. Intel ran into some legal and trademark issues by trying to trademark just numbers.

As a side note, "Pent" means 5, hence "Pentium" as it was a marketable name for Intel's 586 processors.
From the land of red, white, yellow and black.
