To be introduced with next-gen Meteor Lake chips, which Intel calls an "inflection point for design, manufacturing, and architecture."

    Harder to recognise makes it easier to up-sell crappier models to those not close enough to the detail. I was mulling over going AMD with the next laptop (which admittedly won’t be any time soon), this makes me lean more towards that idea.

      AMD’s new naming scheme is also horrific

        It’s got some fluff, but it’s basically the same as any gpu in the last 15 years. First number for generation, second for comparing performance within the generation.
