A quick google search for the model returns a large number of results all discussing the Pentium. http://x86.ddj.com/errata/feb97/bugs.htm http://x86.ddj.com/intel.doc/586manuals.htm Is Dr. Dobb's Journal incorrect? Does this mean that the first Pentium was the "Pentium 54?" No. It means it was model P54C. Very similar to P5, but that's because the next stepping was P55C. Note also that the second page refers to "Pentium Pro (P6) Documentation." The only ambiguity here is the ambiguity vendors/editorials have created by using the abbreviations P2, P3, and P4 everywhere. The only references I can find to Pentium 5 are speculative articles about the Prescott core -- Intel's -NEXT- processor. http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,6707,00.asp -Matt
