Isn't i386 also trademarked?

Do the trademarks really cause a problem, we have a compiler for Pentium,
I see no reason not to say so. I suppose somewhere we would have to say
"Trademarks are the property of their respective companies". Is that
objectionable.

I always found the dubious use of ix86 for large values of x with arbitrary
correspondence to Pentium architectures to be dubious, and the situation
gets mjore confusing with clones!
