At least the desktop versions are clear enough, although in the last years there have been experiments (non-HT versions) and shenanigans (8086K, a "100% marketing non-product").
If we one really wants to point out obscure (arguably dishonest) denominations, AMD, at least in the past, has done a lot of rebranding in the GPU department, and for at least a few years, it was impossible to know, based on the name, which generation a GPU belonged to, since they mixed them across the classes (R3/R5/R7).
- minot 6y agoThe biggest scam that Intel, AMD, and nVidia are all guilty of is naming the desktop parts the same as laptop parts. It isn’t the same thing at all! If you’ve only used thin and light laptops for the last ten or so years, you’ll find that desktops, almost any* desktop will run circles around you. That is the real travesty.
- zokier 6y agoWhat Intel mobile CPUs have same name as desktop? Usually for Intel product segment is identifiable by the suffix.
- jleahy 6y agoWell some laptops come with an option of an 'm3', 'i5' or 'i7'. On the internet you'll see lots of people saying the the i5 will crush the m3, however all of those three processors are identical with only a 200 MHz clock increase between them (15-20% performance increase in practice). I guess the OP is referring to the confusion between the 'laptop' m3 and the i7 that you can get in a desktop or laptop.
- zokier 6y agoYeah, rebranding is maybe the worst. Recent example are the new Ryzen 5xxx series APUs, where 5x00U can be either Zen3 or rebranded Zen2
