[ale] 386 or no 386?

[Dow Hurst]

Celeron and P-II were called 686, right?  Pentium is i586, Pentium II is
i686, but I don't know what a Pentium III or IV would be.  The internal
architecture of the each suceeding chip has more instruction pipes or
more efficient architecture, correct?  K6-2 and K-7 had equivalency to a
i686 type architecture AFAIK but the K-7 had a possibility of executing
3 instructions per cycle.  I don't know too much about it so take all
this with a grain of salt.
