I'd say Xeons are actually less confusing, given that they have an actual naming convention[1].

EX = product line

vX = generation

The clock speed omission is a bummer, but Xeons have two different clock speeds on all processors (one turbo -- which only a certain percentage of the cores can hit simultaneously), so things are a bit more complicated.

also core count varies between xeon version in the same generation/product line.
