I've always said four eight six same with three eight six and two eight six. Weird.

In Serbia we say Four-Eight-Six / Četiri-Osam-Šest

Eleven-Fifty-Eight

In france we have it simple :
"Quatre cent quatre vingt six" : "Four hundred four twenty six"

😁

Cztery, osiem, sześć in Polish. 😀

Wow. I thought it was "4-80-6" everywhere. This is how it was always pronounced on the Computer Chronicles.

Says korean as 4 (사,sa) 8 (팔,pal) 6 (육,yuk), no 80(팔십,pal sip).

4-8-6 here in this part of the world (msia)

Empat-delapan-enam in Bahasa Indonesia, which translates into four-eight-six.

That's belgian : quatre cent octante six 😀

I always called it four-eighty-six as well.

Of course Intel informs me that 486DX4 parts are to be referred to as IntelDX4™. 😈

Always said four-eight-six Come to think of it, don't think I've heard anyone say four-eighty-six in the UK 😀

In English you would go by the name that the company that designed it, i.e. Intel. That is four-eighty-six. This naming convention applies to all of the x86 line.

Why not just "Quarante Huit Six" That's what I would have said if I had still lived there then!

It started with 8008, which everyone called 80 oh 8. Then it carried to 8088 eighty eighty-eight, eighty eight-six, two eighty six, etc.

I'm wondering if that came from how the way the .30-06 (thirty aught-six) cartridge was referred to in speech. Or before that. IDK not a historical linguistics person.

Same here. I always assumed that 'four-eighty-six' was an Americanism, a bit like calling the NES 'en-ee-ess'.
