Oh hey, yeah remember that $3500 laptop you just bought. Well there is something faster now just 2 weeks later.

i7 with 4 cores. "Great" refresh. The model number cannot get more confusing. I feel Intel needs to clean this mess up soon. We used to have i3, 5, 7 and 9 to clearly demarcate the different tier of processors where the higher the number, the more cores/ more power they become. Now they have a few i7 models, some with 4, some with 8 cores. Then they have the G7(suffix) to indicate the iGPU config, which can differ in specs (different number of EUs) as well. I really feel Intel is running in every direction in panic.

This kind of segmentation is a joke.

Intel probably created these skus for certain OEMs for differentiation with their competition. Microsoft for example in their surface lineup never used the mainstream U-series skus - they used the i7 6600U, 7600U, 8650U instead of, respectively, the mainstream i7 6500U, 7500U, 8550U.
