Intel's processor naming changes aren't very easy to understand.

Seriously, what is even going on with this? When I ask people what they have and they tell me "oh it's an Intel i7" I'm like "ok, but that literally tells me nothing." People complain that AMD included a few previous gen chips in newer generation numbering systems, but at least they are special cases (embedded/laptop/etc.) Intel you have to know which generation is which and how it stacks to modern ones or google benchmarks for every single one just to know what it is...
