They've out for around for at least a year and a bit, where Pentium
Processor == 586, except that Intel couldn't trademark a number so
they use Pentium instead.

Given that AMD and Cyrix are both claiming to be just about to release
fully super-scalar, intel compatible processors, rumoured to be pentium pin
compatible, perhaps it's a deliberate trend by motherboard manufacturers?
Hmm, I wonder is AMD and Cyrix will have a Pentium FDIV bug compatability
mode?
