[wraggster]

"Intel's Pentium processor was launched 20 years ago today (http://www.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/analysis/2256532/intel-s-pentium-launched-20-years-ago-today), a move that led to the firm becoming the dominant supplier of computer chips across the globe. This article has some original iComp benchmark scores, rating the 66MHz Pentium at a heady 565, compared with 297 for the 66MHz 486DX2, which was the fastest chip available prior to the Pentium launch."
