P6 or Pentium Pro.

The Pentium is actually a 80586 chip, Intel renamed it to stop other
manufacturers (AMD, e.g.) from using the trade name.

The P6 is an 80686 serial number, and the next revision is probably going to
continue the trend towards naming processors like GM names cars.

Let's stop this now.
