>Is Intel or Nvidia even better about this? Surprisingly: Yes. They (usually) don't label inferior/older tech as new tech, for one. If Intel says something is 12th gen or 13th gen or 14th gen, it generally is. Likewise Nvidia, if they say something is 3rd gen or 4th gen, it generally is. This already greatly simplifies things; numbers actually mean something. Then they don't have more suffixes and prefixes than I can be bothered to remember. Intel? The first number (eg: i7) denotes class within generation. First one or two digits in the second number denote generation (eg: 12 in 12700K). The third number denotes tier within the class (eg: 700 in 12700K). The suffix, if any, denotes overclocking (K), supremely-special (S), no graphics (F), powerful mobile (H), desktop repurposed for mobile (HX), power-saving (P), and ultra power-saving (U). For Nvidia, it's either GTX or RTX prefix for no raytracing or raytracing enabled respectively. Then the first one or two digits in the number denotes generation, and the following digits denote tier within the generation. Super or Ti are appended for higher tier models of the same number. Meanwhile, what the sincere fuck is AMD?

> If Intel says something is 12th gen or 13th gen or 14th gen, it generally is. 10th and 11th generations included both 14 nm and 10 nm CPUs, now 14th gen is in some weird state when it coexists with Core Ultra on Intel 4 (7 nm) chips. > The first number (eg: i7) denotes class within generation.

Or Core Ultra 5 135U? > Then they don't have more suffixes and prefixes than I can be bothered to remember. You forgot at least T, XE, N, G. That's only the ones I remember, there are definitely more.

  According to their own website, the "Intel® Core™ Processors (14th gen)" has the following suffixes: K, F, S, T, X/XE, HX, HK, H, P, U, Y, G1-G7, E, UE, HE, UL, HL (17 not counting those grouped together) https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor-numbers.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/processors/processor...

Don't forget NVIDIA trying to sell the now named 4070 as a different 4080.

When you get down to the lower marketed brands, like Pentium and Celeron, and sometimes i3, things get really messy. If it's got a suffix, it's a core core (having to say core core is of course, an Intel naming problem too), and if it's got a prefix, it's an atom core. And of course, the numbers are offset from the other brands for no particular reason.
