The issue is not that it's easy to work out, the issue is that these manufacturers have decided that fine grained specs aren't important. I actually more or less agree with that, although I wish they'd at least indicate generation.
- mhh__ 4y ago> generation I'm sorry but have you never seen intel marketing in last decade? "New intel 12th gen blah blah"
- rektide 4y agoGiven the article you are replying to, trying to poo-poo knowing what generation a chip is seems perposterously off base. Whatever the marketing is or isnt, generation has once again become a very significant indicator of what you'll get or not get. This submission is excellent proof.
- mhh__ 4y agoHow is it off base? Also generation in the context of this article refers to generation as in Star Trek rather than a numbered generation as per se. Sunny Cove is a name of a microarchitecture whereas (say) Alder Lake is the codename for intel 12th gen which includes 2 microarchitectures one for the big and one for the little core.
- rektide 4y agoThis article.is about vast vast vast microarchitectural changes of a huge & epic mature happening in a single chip release. Your point that this isnt even a generation of change- it's a vast shift im a subgeneration- seems like it only amplifies & further stresses we should at least know a generation. Probably more!!!
- mhh__ 4y agoThat isn't my point at all. The generation is the bit they actually tell the plebs, I am saying that if you can't see the generation for most intel computers you'd have be blind. Intel plaster it all over their marketing. AMD try to they just aren't good at it.
- charles_kaw 4y agoSometimes OEMs omit even the generation now. It's unfortunate.
