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.
It has all the info about the CPU in the name, that's kinda cool
It's got some fluff, but it's basically the same as any gpu in the last 15 years. First number for generation, second for comparing performance within the generation.
So it can confuse buyers, and they buy a lower generation for a higher price
Was it though? Maybe to people like us, but not to my folks.
Personally, I‘d prefer some sort of naming convention that was like Apple’s. Generation number, then some sort of Good, Better, Best name tacked on the back.
That said, the words Apple picked for Good-Better-Best are kind of stupid and not as clear as the could be.
But why? It was easy and recognizable.

AMD's new naming scheme is also horrific

The two market leaders woke up and chose violence

Weird scheme but at least high number good.
URGH
