Well I had expected someone running linux to know that lol
Well you expect wrong! Lol tbh it isn't often I need to know the specific model of processor I have, typically "sticker says i5" works just fine, but this time not so much lol.
I don't know how much you care about this, but even within each product class (i5, i7, etc) there can be a huge performance delta between specific models, especially in laptop chips. The same applies to AMD.
This will be a concern next time I buy (or build) a pc, but this laptop is a "Hey Ma, do you still have that old laptop you don't use from 2010? I wanna try linux" machine.
Turns out after I installed Fedora I was never able to stop using it since it is so much better than windows so now I'm going on year 2 of "shit I guess I don't really need to upgrade if it works this well!" Lol
