I think GP is talking about a branding problem though. Non tech savvy people may not realise that the i7 in that new computer at the store is different from the i7 written on the front of their PC.

For years CPUs had numbers that went up: 286, 386, 486, Pentium.

After that, it was Mhz and Ghz that people used to rate a CPU.

But none of those things are as relevant as they used to be.

So what number goes up? i3, i5, i7, i9. That's what Intel is telling us. That's the number they want us to see.
