	The Pentium: An Architectural History of the World's Most Famous Desktop Processor (Part I): Page 1
		I'll never forget when Intel first announced that the name for the successor to the 486 would be "Pentium." I and most of my fellow computer nerds thought the name was silly and not suitably geeky.
		The choice to continue along the x86 path inflicted some serious short- and medium-term pain on Intel, and a certain amount of long-term pain on the industry as a whole (how much pain depends on who you talk to), but as we'll see the negative impact of this critical move has gradually lessened over time.
		Modern x86 architectures have workarounds, like rename registers and a "free" FXCH instruction, for alleviating — but not eliminating — the performance disadvantages of x87's register-starved (only eight architectural registers) and stack-based architecture.
