> i7 stays the same over 10+ years with only the obscure (to the general public) suffix changing from generation to generation.
My wife was confused about that earlier this week. She was like: 'you mean i7 is not newer than i5? And if i7 is better than i5, why can an i5 be better than an i7? (when it's an old i7)'
I get they have the generation. But:
1 - it's not easy to compare different models of different generations. How can a non-technical person compare 7th gen i5 with 5th gen i7?
2 - Many places that sell computers don't put the generation on the 'headline'. You have to dig in the specs to discover that, if you can find it at all
