Comment on CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U

- 8086
- 8088
- 80186
- 80286
- 80386
- 80486
- Pentium …wait, what?! Not 80586? Nope.
Intel didn’t like that other CPU manufacturers of x86 CPUs (AMD, Cyrix, IBM) could use the same numbering scheme. So Intel created “Pentium” because it could be copyrighted/trademarked so other companies couldn’t use it.

There is no 80486. It’s called the i486.

Such a confident answer! And so incorrect too!

That’s a model number, not a name. The first Pentium had a model number of A80501, but you wouldn’t seriously claim that it’s really the 80501, would you?

You’re embarrassing yourself with your pedantry. You said 80486 didn’t exist. It did. Seriously, quit while you’re behind here.
