Thats why is would say "From makers of " or such.
It is better becuase it says its quality and it is new.

Yes well, You cannot trademark or copyright just a number by itself. Hence Intel need to move away from the 286/386/486 designations. They chose "Celeron", "Pentium" and later of course "Xeon".

These days the marketing hype has been about terms like "Core Duo" "Core i5" and so forth.

I suspect the name also signals that we'll be going back to the Eastern Front a lot sooner than we expected.

Which I'm quite alright with... I've learned to love it (from originally not having any interest in it at all) from a historical perspective.
