we could in theory get rid of the "ix" at the first. there is no i7 10100f cpu, only i3 10100f, so if you say "i have 10100f intel cpu", i know it's worse than 10400f cpu

That may be an improvement, sure.

Whatever it is, if a name is meant to signify new products to potential buyers: The name of the newer product needs to clearly show that it is a newer product than the old product. It must do this literally first and foremost, or it will fail at the goal of improving sales.

(Here we are in 2025, and Intel's sales are shit.)
