    Ultra 7 155H with six P-cores, eight E-cores, and eight graphics cores; or an Ultra 7 165H with the same number of cores but marginally higher clock speeds.

    WTF is Intel smoking with these naming schemes I can’t even understand what this means. Thank fuck AMD is an option.

      I think that’s the intent, and they fucking nailed it.

      It’s the intent, like “high-end” car models, so you can’t distinguish them by features or age.

      The number behind Ultra is pretty much the same as with the i$x scheme. 3 is entry, 5 is mid range, 7 is high end, 9 is bad decision making.

      The number after that kind of works like before. So higher number means more better. Probably with an extension for coming generation. Remember, the first i5s had 4 digit names as well, the fourth digit was prepended to indicate generations.

      Thing is, there’s no really good naming scheme, because there are so many possible variants/dimensions. Base clock, turbo clock, TDP, P core count, E core count, PCIe lanes, socket, generation ,… How would you encode that in a readable name?

        just concat: intel i7 11g4p8e128l420c520b

        11 gen 4 pcore 8 ecore 128 lane 4.20ghz clock base 5.20ghz clock boost

        letter between for readable. maybe not add lane if not change for same number of pcore and ecore

        gskill do similar thing: F5-5200J3636C16GX2-FX5

        5200 mhz unbuffered dimm 36-36-36 timing 1.20v 16g per module dual channel 2 module in kit

        see here: https://www.gskill.com/faq/1502180912/DRAM-Memory

        edit: also can put architecture with letter to indicate refresh, add suffix for apu and maybe tdp

        can maybe use some letter for number: not that many different core number, make a=1pcore, b=2pcore, c=3pcore, … more than 26 pcore unlikely ever in consumer cpu. same for ecore maybe
