But why? It was easy and recognizable.
Harder to recognise makes it easier to up-sell crappier models to those not close enough to the detail. I was mulling over going AMD with the next laptop (which admittedly won’t be any time soon), this makes me lean more towards that idea.
AMD's new naming scheme is also horrific

It's got some fluff, but it's basically the same as any gpu in the last 15 years. First number for generation, second for comparing performance within the generation.
It has all the info about the CPU in the name, that's kinda cool
URGH
Weird scheme but at least high number good.
