AI means it has npu, Max+ is marking the memory channel, PRO is a normal label for chips that have extra security baked in, it has been this way since forever.

I don't see anything wrong with the name.
- elAhmo 3mo agoYou literally answered what is wrong with the name.
- izacus 3mo agoThey did not, can you explain what do you mean?
- VulgarExigency 3mo agoFor those of us with feebler minds than you or him, the name is just full of qualifiers that make no sense.
- ethbr1 3mo agoTo expand, positional definition of adjectives tends to be a bad marketing scheme. Nobody knows that pro and max mean specific things. If AMD needs to create a full cross-product of their hardware feature set, because they intend to have a SKU for every possible combination, they probably need a better scheme. Say what you want about Celeron/Pentium/i3/i5/i7, but it mostly got the idea across (except on the occasions Intel hijacked it to upbrand SKUs).
- izacus 3mo agoSo why do so many of major successful product corporations use this kind of naming scheme?
- w0m 3mo agoTo be fair - I'd much rather the name be overwrought but clear (once you know or have the decryption key to translate) than to have to look up an even uglier chart that i have ~no chance of memorizing to go 'ok, the Tiberian has X, Y, Z and Q and the Cyrian has Q, Y, but Z is nerfed'
- Ancapistani 3mo agoI’ve not been “plugged in” enough to current-generation hardware for over a decade to know what all that meant. There’s a place for a “decoder” for this stuff, and that should tell you something.
