This might be a weird question, but I wanted to figure it out anyway.

I have a Acer Nitro 5, It has a i7-9750H with 6 cores and 12 threads as the processor. That's definitely what shows up in several different places, like the BIOS, CPUZ, 3DMark and etc. However I noticed a weird irregularity in CPUZ, where the icon in the CPU tab is the one for a 9th gen Core i5.

The performance seems fine, and there isn't any problem in running programs or games, but I was curious why CPUZ used that icon instead of an i7 one. Thanks!
