It kinda does make sense to a degree:

i386 – Intel i386/80386 (in 1985) or AMD386 / AM386 (in 1991)

i486 – Intel i486/80486 (in 1989) or AMD486 / AM486 (in 1993)

i586 – Intel Pentium (in 1993) or AMD-K5 (in 1996)

i686 – Intel Pentium Pro & 2 (in 1995) or AMD-K6 (in 1997)

i786 – Intel Pentium 4 (in 2000) or AMD-K7 (in 1999)
