Original cpu naming (need ideas)

[Nagby]

Hi

 

for now CPUs, sockets and chipsets are all named after boring numbers and letter serie 
i7 4770k, fx 8130, LGA 1150, FM2, Z78, 990fxa 
all that is mixing up and hard to understand

 

so far i found something based on 2 words for CPUs 

one for the type of cpu : 

walker : ARM 
buddy : APU 
player : consumer x86 cpu 
worker : professional x86 cpu

 

and what is it aiming : 
glad : best perf/price 
calm : best perf/consmuption 
ireful : best perfomance, no compromise

 

so those would make anyone able to get pretty much what this chip is made for 
but to have more precise information, name would also contain the number of cores, the stock frequency, and the year it was released in (generation) 

so for example an i3 4100U would be called : 
2 calm players 2013 1.8GHz 
because it is a low power 2 cores consumer cpu that came out in 2013 and is running at 1.8GHz

tryed to do the "logo" of it following the name

so i'm pretty happy about cpu names and it could have little dudes on the box following the name (but still wondering how those should look like, if you have ideas, feel free to share them)

 

but thing turned bad when i wanted to get something in the same spirit for sockets and chipsets : 
walker shoe : ARM 
buddy room : APU 
playroom : consumer cpu 
workbench : professional cpu

 

ARM don't need chipsets names and APUs would be SoCs so glad/calm/ireful 
but for professional x86 cpus : 
warehouse : storage mobo 
office : render mobo 
company : good-for-everything mobo

 

and the shame come with consumers x86 cpus : 
elementary : low end mobo 
comprehensive : mid end mobo 
high school : high end mobo 
:s

 

so i'm asking you if you have ideas to improve those names 
or find a completely different naming, still aiming on making names simple to understand

[Godlygamer23]

If I'm understanding all this completely, these names are confusing too.

[Nagby]

how so?

[Godlygamer23]

How does comprehensive equal mid end motherboard? And high school equal high end motherboard?

[Nagby]

well those are the name i'm the less proud of indeed ^^

and it is because at first the socket was called playground

so i thought about going with schools, where elder schools mean higher end motherboard

[Coombzy]

2 calm players I don't even know this is way to confusing for an average consumer imagine somebody trying to sell an i7 oh its the new 4 ireful whatever year 3.4GHz

[Nagby]

well if you just say i7 then it is like just saying the ireful part

 

but you can say

4 irefull players 2013 3.4GHz

as

quad core i7 4770K LGA1150 haswell 3.4GHz

 

everything isn't necesarry

If you ask me, the current naming system is fine so we don't have to worry about prices that fluctuate from dealer to dealer and we still get the clarification of what the difference between certain processors by the classification.

 

I really don't see what's too confusing about the current system and it doesn't have to have silly adjectives or nouns involved.

I think AMD should have called their first CPU 1, then the 2nd 2 and so on

Intel for their first call it A, then B and so on.

 

simples

Or you can just say 4770k @ 3.4 GHz.

[Nagby]

for example, having LGA 1156 being older than 1155 which is older than 1150 is pretty confusing

and it would still be possible to do a reference number mixing the generation cores and frequency, like 4.34.13 

and the advantage is that it would fit with any CPUs, where in 4770k the 4 is for the gen so it is fine, but 770 is for cores AND frequency, so not every combos can use that naming

 

those silly adjectives are meant for people who hasn't been following CPU news and don't know what those series of numbers mean

here they could find what they need by following the name

 

and the fact that they are silly is just because i'm kind of bored about the manliness/hardcoreness around hardware (aka last AMD ad ^^)

so i tryed to do more funny things

they could be totally different adjectives

 

 

 

i also did that for GPUs

where there is the gen.large range|thin range

gen would be 1, 2, 3...

large range E for economical, P for performant, X for extreme

thin range L for low, M for mid, H for high

and special in-between cards that come after the serie is ended would have a "²" at the end

for example the HD 7790 would be a X.E²

and the 560 ti core 448 a X.P²

[Godlygamer23]

The 4670K and 4770K clock difference is 100MHz for both base and turbo. Not a big deal. These new names are just as confusing or more confusing. Also, the 770 statement you said should be corrected with "threads," not cores. And the only number difference between the 4670K and 4770K is the second number changing to a 7.

In that case, people would have to learn a whole new system and might get mixed up on what names mean what.

 

Currently, people are able to think to themselves, "Okay, the higher number is better." And for the most part, that's been correct. With that in mind, it makes it easy for people who aren't into computers, those that follow everything about, and everyone in between would have an idea on the parts (whether it be vague or crystal clear).

[Nagby]

well then the fx 8320 is WAY better than the i7 4770k since 8320>4770 ^^

and CPU choose isn't always about what kind of performance you get with it, but also what TDP and how many cores (more cores isn't always what you want)

intel had T before, now it's U for low TDP CPUs

and those names would have to be for every brands, as it takes in count ARM and APUs too

 

and then what do you think about sockets and chipsets names?

[Godlygamer23]

Sometimes. But it's not really an achievement. You can't compare AMD's naming scheme to Intel's.

Like I said:

 

And for the most part, that's been correct.

 

That doesn't mean that AMDs naming scheme makes their processors better than Intels. Regardless, while making a purchase, the company's product will have the company's name with it so there's no way people will mix it up.

 

Also, for having different naming schemes, some people are able to tell if it's Intel or AMD (and ATI/AMD or NVidia) and that would help with brevity. Also, having your naming scheme would mean that certain things would have to change as more and more powerful products come out.

 

And for the sockets and chipset names, I see nothing wrong with it because a novice should be doing as much research as possible to make sure nothing is wrong and someone who knows a lot wouldn't have to worry about it.
