The Pentium processor was the next generation in Intel's series after the 80286, 80386 and 80486. It was the 80586, but it was branded as Pentium due to numbers not being able to be trademarked.
"Pent" referring to "5". Fine, that makes sense. But then the next processor, the 80686 was the "Pentium 2"... why not the "Hexium" or even the "Sexium". That would make more sense.
