The Troubled Beginnings of the Pentium
EDITORIAL
Back in 1993, Intel released the successor to the i486, the Pentium. Originally to be called the i586, Intel was facing the problem of rivals using the same naming scheme as them and were unsuccessful in trademarking 586 due to it being a string of numbers. To combat this, Intel approached Legicon Branding, a branding firm behind the likes of Apple’s PowerBook and Adobe’s InDesign, who came up with the name Pentium. Penta being five (with the Pentium being the fifth iteration of x86 CPU), and -ium being the suffix found with many elements on the periodic table. With Intel deeming the processor to be a key element in a PC, the Pentium brand was born.
