PC chip names are a confusing mess

Then Intel has all the body-of-water names for chips that get delayed so you hear about a chip with some silly name for years, then by the time it hits the market you've heard about it so long it sounds obsolete, like an IBM 360 or a DECSYSTEM-20. Intel should make "Shit Creek" and then give up on the Lakes and Seas and all that...

Could Intel please name chips by socket-threads-ghz-cache?

A Xeon e5-2643 v3 would become a 2011v3-6x2-3.4-20MB

I like that, but I'd also like info included for chips that have an iGPU.

Intel's G1/G3/G7 was better than nothing, so of course they killed it after a generation or two.

Because marketing. It is always this. How do you even advertise something like SLD5R or 100-000000832?
