It's standard trademark infringement ... ask anyone who's business was ever referred to as AAA ...

Did you know that you can trademark letters much more easily then numbers. That is why the Pentium chip is not called the "586 Processor".

It's my understanding that Cyrix came out (not in a homosexual way, for sure) with a 686 processor that was around briefly before Intel marketted the Pentium.
