Back in the day of late Pentiums and early Cores those internal names worked quite well, they were used and understood everywhere in computer tech media. Today there just isn't so much buzz (or maybe I'm just getting old and do not fall for it so much anymore, but I'd wager that it's both), the portfolios are so wide that none of the many niches can get much attention and the entirety of x86 has to share the stage with mobile (or in-betweens), more than it had to share the stage with workstation CPU news in early Pentium age and before.
