It's been long enough, can we please just have Intel (YEAR) CPU as a reference rather than the eternally opaque codenames? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee

Intel 2017+ CPUs (Coffee Lake+).
- wtallis 3y agoGoing by year doesn't help when they have more than one microarchitecture in their product line at a time. If their naming conventions were a bit cleaner and they didn't rebadge older chips to prevent the appearance of having holes in their product lineup, then we could almost go by model numbers, but that's definitely not viable. As difficult as they may be to remember, the microarchitecture codenames are the most concise way to unambiguously specify the affected chips.
- scrubs 3y agoAbsolutely. And have you run across the phrase "previously called xxxlake?" [1] was all I could lay my hands on quickly. It's confusing when for ex. you're trying to figure out Intel pmu msr addresses. https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codename/37572/products-formerly-skylake.html https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/codenam...
