History

Historical Context

In March 1993 Intel released the original Pentium, its first P5-based x86 CPU, establishing a brand that would dominate desktops for a decade. The 1995 launch of the Pentium Pro, Intel’s sixth-generation processor, shifted to the P6 microarchitecture that later enabled the Core line introduced in 2006. This lineage underpins today’s mobile silicon race, exemplified by Qualcomm’s 2024 Snapdragon earnings.
