This is why I haven't had an Intel processor in over a decade.

Just...could not be arse figuring out the difference between the 1234K, the 1324, the 1243, and the 1342K, even though they've got the same clocks and cores, and then wondering if that motherboard I want is the right motherboard for it.

I don't know, I never really thought intel's processor naming was that hard to understand....

13 - Generation

7 - Processor SKU/Line (i.e. i7)

00

K/F/S - Unlocked/No Graphics/Special Edition

Same. I’m not sure if it’s the blue cool-aid that I’m drinking or what, but their naming schemes aren’t that confusing.

Not to mention each of my builds gets researched as I’m figuring out what components I’ll be using – so I never really had any issues with guaranteeing that everything works once I get all the hardware together.

However if the objective is to head to the store, grab a bunch of parts off the shelf, and have everything just fit together when building at home, then yeah I guess it’s currently not so straightforward.

TV naming conventions was hard for me until i googled “Samsung naming conventions”. Most of this info for any company is one 5 second search away lol

Seems like every processor needs its own mobo for it when it comes to Intel and their mobos, regardless who makes them, are expensive. There were like 5 generations of cpus on the AMD side that used one socket and didn't see any degrading of performance when upgrading to newer processors.

I loved when they simply removed a single pin - 1156 to 1155 - just to fuck over backwards compatibility, while still being able to use the same tooling for the processors and saving themselves money...while ensuring the consumer has to upgrade more than just his CPU.

Yeah, fucking greed at its finest. This isn't something new with Intel either. They tried to do do away with the socket years ago saying sockets have gone as far as the technology would allow, and introduced Slot 1. Luckily that bullshit died real fast.

If you find that confusing, than I guess you haven't upgraded your computer at all in over a decade huh?

Nope, 2019 was the last major upgrade.

I'm just not the sort of guy who jerks off over learning model names, and, at any rate, my time is worth a lot more than yours.

Well mister moneybags, I guess, it was an AMD processor and AMD is well known for their clear naming schemes that don't involve numbers like the Ryzen 7 3700x.

I like how you called me "Mr. Moneybags" when you know I bought AMD.

You are the one saying you are worth more than me, I am simply acknowledging your superiority.

Where did I say that?

And saying I'm superior to you isn't that big a deal. Pretty much everything on the planet is superior to you. I've run over stuff on then highway that's superior to you.

For fun add the Atom, Celeron, and Pentium line. Do you want a Celeron 5125j, or a Pentium gold?

Or maybe you want a CPU with AVX512... Here's some options... And they're gone!
