They would have had trademark problems with '586' or '686' because you cant trademark a number. So when the 586 came out the called it the Pentium instead. Then when the P6 came out they had spent so much money promoting the Pentium so they just called the P6 the Pentium Pro, even though they are totaly separate processoers. I think there was one time that Intel did have a problem with trade marks. When they made the 486DX4-100 it is really only clock trippled, but DX3 was trademarked by some car company, so they called it the DX4.
