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.
