Largely those style names do exist in the current product names. Since Intel styled the Core i-series 3, 5, and 7 (and the later 9) over 12 years ago, AMD is following their lead with Ryzen 3, 5, 7, and 9.
The first digit is the generation and then the second digit and suffix letter designate additional features. So a Ryzen 7 5700X is a 5th gen Ryzen 7 meaning it has 8 cores. It is a step down in price and performance to a 5800X and also has no Graphics capabilities (those have a G suffix). Intel uses different letter suffixes such as the Core i7 12700KF being a 12th generation Core i7 with overclocking features (K) and no graphics (F).
It is far worst with GPUs. Certainly an industry wide naming convention reset would be nice but everyone is not going to cooperate like that.
It does take a minute to read up on but at least Intel has *mostly* followed this naming convention for 12 product generations so far.
