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?
Read my prior post, I specifically SAID it was a model number.
You're embarrassing yourself with your pedantry. You said 80486 didn't exist. It did. Seriously, quit while you're behind here.
Oops, my mistake, you were wrong about the Pentium, then, not the 486. Its model number, as I said, was A80501. You switched from model numbers to names.
Apology accepted. Have a great day!
