I have seen i386 being used in a couple of contexts. For example, Debian uses it to refer to the 32-bit port[1]. It also seemed to be used when various Linux distributions built Pentium optimized packages when that became a thing. In that case 386 would be used for earlier 32-bit processors and 686 would be used for later 32-bit processors. So the nomenclature is not always clear.
