I agree. The intel naming convention has sucked since they switched to the Core iX names a few years back. Why are they still selling Core i5 computers in 2016 when they were available in 2012? It's like they don't want consumers to know there is a new processor out.

No wonder PC sales are so bad these days.

Because i5 and i7 processors are exactly the same silicon. It's just for i7 they turn on hyper-threading.
