Pentium
From S23Wiki
 | This is the JargonFile (V4.47) entry for Pentium - Next: [[]], Prev: Pentagram Pro |
| :Pentium: The name given to Intels P5 chip, the successor to the 80486. The name was chosen because of difficulties Intel had in trademarking a number. It suggests the number five (implying 586) while (according to Intel) conveying a meaning of strength "like titanium". Among hackers, the plural is frequently pentia. See also Pentagram Pro. | |
