What? The "20" was never the generation.
The i7-720, i7-820, and i7-940 are all Nehalem (ie first generation) core parts.
The numbering more or less makes sense if you prepend a 0 to the "720". Now your generations make perfect sense.
Current desktop product codes still more or less make sense. Mobile is a complete clusterfuck though.
- bsilvereagle 11y agoI guess "generation" may have been the wrong word. "Age" or "iteration" may have been more appropriate. The 720 was launched Q3'09 and the 740 was Q3'10.
