When someone says Intel i5 or i7, I immediately wonder if they're talking about 2008 i7 or 2019 model.
Intel would be smart to retire whole i3/i5/i7/i9 branding. People seem to think every i5 or i7 is the same.

- vardump 7y agoSo Intel wants laypersons not to realize there's something faster available and to upgrade their x86 based systems? Before that era people didn't know much about the details either, but they did understand 800 MHz was faster than 533 MHz.
