Pentium is an extended family of x86 microprocessors developed by Intel since 1992.

History

Following Intel's previous microprocessor series (186, 286, 386, and 486), this family was set to become the 586. In an attempt to weed out the competition who were selling Intel-compatible clones, Intel filed to trademark the 586. Unfortunately, the generic numbering of the series caused its registration to be denied. In pursue after a fitting brand name they could trademark, Lexicon Branding suggested they consider a name ending in "-ium" as their research indicated pent- connoted strength and power (e.g. Pentagon). pent- is also similar to penta- meaning 5, denoting 5th generation x86. The -ium suffix connoted something scientific in nature (e.g. an element on the periodic table). The "Pentium" trademark was filed on July 2, 1992.

In 2014 Intel released the Pentium 20th Anniversary Edition commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Pentium family.
