Think back, way back. Remember when Intel was using processor numbers like 80806, 80286, or when shortened; 386 and 486? These were the emerging days of the IBM PC Compatible, and with it's power growing came newer and more advanced CPU iterations. But just when we were looking forward to the 586, Intel went and handed us the Pentium. What in the world of hobbits was an Intel Pentium? Well, of course it was the 586 but with a new name. So let's explore why the P5 was given the Pentium moniker, rather than sticking with x86 naming conventions. I'll also take a look at early Intel naming conventions to try and tackle the topic of, CPU names explained, and how their processor names changed before the IBM 5150 PC launched. ** For exclusive videos, mystery boxes and other rewards, please consider supporting me at; https://www.patreon.com/nostalgianerd?ty=h ** A few websites referencing this story; Outline: http://tedium.co/2017/05/18/intel-386-486-trademark-battles/ Pentium name: http://www.ece.iastate.edu/~morris/cs570/name.html AMD QPDM: https://www.techpowerup.com/204258/amd-to-celebrate-30-years-of-graphics-and-gaming Early Intel Chips: http://www.nzeldes.com/HOC/IntelFirsts.htm AMD vs Intel appeal case: http://ca.findacase.com/research/wfrmDocViewer.aspx/xq/fac.19941230_0040007.ca.htm/qx The two Mike Webbs (unlikely events): http://articles.latimes.com/1990-10-05/business/fi-1767_1_intel-chip Lexicon Branding: https://www.lexiconbranding.com/our-work/highlights.html ☟Sharing☟ If you wish to share this video in forums, social media, on your website, *please do so*!
