A supposed bargain is currently causing considerable discussion: The Chuwi CoreBook X, which is officially advertised with an AMD Ryzen 5 7430U, has an older Ryzen 5 5500U installed. This not only raises the question of performance, but above all the trust in the manufacturer's product specifications.
Atrocious compared to Intel? The first CPU with the name Core i7 was released in 2008, but Intel is still releasing a CPU named Core i7 as recently as 2023. They both suck, but in different ways.
Everyone’s nomenclature sucks after 2016. Model numbers don’t mean anything is what I mean lol
Honestly, we know where the root of this problem came from. Back in the 1990s Intel broke with convention of using ever increasing numeric model numbers
Intel didn’t like that other CPU manufacturers of x86 CPUs (AMD, Cyrix, IBM) could use the same numbering scheme. So Intel created “Pentium” because it could be copyrighted/trademarked so other companies couldn’t use it.
