Yes, it's a mistake -- thanks for the catch! It's not quite as bad as that,
however:

P5 (i586) was the original Pentium microarchitecture; Intel introduced P6
(i686) in 1995 as the Pentium Pro and continued it in the Pentium II and
Pentium III.

The Pentium 4 was based on the NetBurst architecture that followed P6. 

Strictly, then, we should say "requires an Intel Pentium Pro or better
processor". I'll make sure this gets fixed when we next regenerate the POT
files.
