With the way Intel segments CPUs you need the stupid numbers. "Intel 8-core 3.6GHz 2020 no integrated GPU, no ECC with unlocked multiplier" is a bit of a mouthful.

That's a really fair point. I support you could do something like:

i82020GEM or i82020NNN

so you have intel 8 core, 2020, GPU, ECC, multiplier or without... then we're back to really bad clusters of numbers and letters, but at least in that scenario it has meaning.

But anybody who can parse that without looking it up obviously cares enough to look at the current product numbering scheme and hop on over to ark.intel.com all the same.

My biggest issue with that is I couldn't find it documented anywhere and it feels like they come up with new suffixes every year. I was on board with F and K, but now there's a bunch of others that I just have no clue what they mean.
