PC chip names are a confusing mess
- PaulHoule 3y agoThen Intel has all the body-of-water names for chips that get delayed so you hear about a chip with some silly name for years, then by the time it hits the market you've heard about it so long it sounds obsolete, like an IBM 360 or a DECSYSTEM-20. Intel should make "Shit Creek" and then give up on the Lakes and Seas and all that...

- RecycledEle 3y agoCould Intel please name chips by socket-threads-ghz-cache? A Xeon e5-2643 v3 would become a 2011v3-6x2-3.4-20MB
- nfriedly 3y agoI like that, but I'd also like info included for chips that have an iGPU. Intel's G1/G3/G7 was better than nothing, so of course they killed it after a generation or two.
- gaudat 3y agoBecause marketing. It is always this. How do you even advertise something like SLD5R or 100-000000832?
