But it doesn't simplify the processor name!? Instead of i5, we now have to say "core 5" or "intel core 5".
I have a feeling everyone's going to end up calling them i9s anyways
Probably. The "core" name is too close to the old "Core2Duo/Quad" names anyway.
They're probably not too worried about people getting them mixed up with 15 year old CPUs
