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 has all the info about the CPU in the name, that's kinda cool
