CPU SKUs work exactly the same way? intel has gone longer than nvidia without restarting the numbering, so they need two digits instead of one.
- alpaca128 3y ago"i7-6700" could also be "6700" without any loss of information if the numbering follows a consistent system. Instead it's needlessly verbose so everyone just shortens it to "i7" which carries little information. > intel has gone longer than nvidia without restarting the numbering, so they need two digits instead of one. Nvidia started the current numbering with 200 almost at the same time, with the 10XX series they added a fourth digit.
