   If they had kept going with the 386, 486, "586" nomenclature... at what number would we be at now?

     @thomasmey @ParadeGrotesque omg, Intel releasing a processor literally called "x86" would be delightfully confusing.

     We'd need a copy of Windows 9.5 to run on that!

     @ParadeGrotesque @hisham_hm what will happen after 986? 1086? Or switch to characters: a86 which would then also include x86

     Pentium: 586
     Pentium II: 686
     Pentium III: 786
     Pentium 4: 886
     Core: 986
     Core 2: 1086
     1st to 15th gen Core i: 1186-2586

     So, I guess we'd be at 802586, or something like that
