It seems like only yesterday that people were tapping away on computers powered by chips called 286, 386, and so on — the so-called “X86” series of microprocessors. Most users didn’t quite understand what the chips were or did, or who actually made them — they just had the vague understanding that the higher the number, the faster their machine would run. All of a sudden, in 1993, Intel changed the game with its launch of the first named chip — the Pentium. Consumers had been told just a few years before to look for “Intel Inside”; now they had a name to go with it.
