I hardly remember my first computer but I remember the sticker saying it was like a pentium pro or something.
Pentium Pro/ I686 / P6 one of the most influential processors in 20 years, and is still alive as the "core" architecture today. If you have a Core2, or core I7, you have a processor that is built off the Pentium Pro.
Pentium Pro -> Pentium 2 (off die cache) -> Pentium III (P2 with on die cache more or less) -> Pentium M (lower power, but higher clocked PIII) -> Core1 -> Core2 -> Core I7.
The Pentium 4 was the retirement of the Pentium Pro line, but the chip was kept alive by the Intel Israel team for mobile only chips (Pentium M), when the P4 hit a thermal/transistor leakage limit at 4ghz, they ramped up PentiumM team to build a dual core version (Core 1), then a dual core with a shared L2 cache (Core2), and so on.
