To be fair AMD literally copied the category scheme 3 generations ago and stuck with it (r3/r5/r7/r9).

This generation they've also moved to simplify further. The mobile chips with the same number were always one gen behind the desktop (mobile 4xxx ~= desktop 3xxx), but now they've skipped desktop 4000 both are back in sync.

Also Intel's naming scheme is getting complicated too. Base vs K vs KF Vs F. 10xxxgY vs 10xxxH/U on mobile are two entirely seperate tenth gens with lots of overlap.

Don't forget Intel's brand new Core i7-1185G7. A name so terrible that Intel only said it a single time during their announcement presentation (by comparison they said "4800U" 8 times in that same presentation)

what about AMD Embedded, if I look at the AMD page of mini pc they don't have r3/r5r/7/r9 category whereas Intel have.

I don't know what AMD embedded is compare to r3

Well, if we're going to throw embedded into the mix, Intel gets really complicated as well. What's this J1900? J3455? Quick: what features does the 3455 have over the 1900? Is Apollo Lake good? Or is Bay Trail newer? How does Cannon Lake compare to Apollo Lake?

Comparing NUCs, which is better: the BXNUC10I7FNK1, or BXNUC10I3FNK1?

I've got a i5 3350P. Quick, what does the P stand for?
