Alternate names: Pentium, K5, i586

Pentium was Intel's CPU while K5 was AMD's equivalent. Pentium MMX was identical to regular Pentium except for the added MMX instruction set.

This was the beginning of vastly differing clock speeds between CPUs in comparison to their actual performance (though Cyrix might've done that earlier, they weren't exactly popular).
