I guess they mean the original Pentium. Is that still actively used?

  Hm... I thought it was about the Intel Pentium series.

    It is, the original one, the Pentium (translates roughly to '5') which actually gave a symbolical name to the _5_86 The name Pentium is now used for relatively cheap CPUs, these CPUs will remain functional, as they are not 586. The following wiki page calls it "P5"-based CPUs. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Pentium_microprocessors#P6_based_Pentiums https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Pentium_micropro...

      The first 686 CPU was the Pentium Pro, which despite the name was a full redesign. The earliest consumer variant would be the Pentium II.
