 |  Intel Pentium Brand 14 Years Old MARCH 22 1993 saw Intel ship the first Pentium processor, clocking in at an astonishing 60MHz. Replacing the 486, Chipzilla cocked a snook with the name as pundits had been confidently predicting it would be called the 80586. But Intel failed to convince the US Patent Office that it could patent a number, so it was named after Craig Barrett's horse instead. http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=38428
