Comment on CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U

That said, I went and looked up both models, they are both listed as using the FP6 interface. So they are electrically and mechanically compatible, likely just needing a bios update, my point is still valid.

Atrocious compared to Intel? The first CPU with the name Core i7 was released in 2008, but Intel is still releasing a CPU named Core i7 as recently as 2023. They both suck, but in different ways.

Everyone’s nomenclature sucks after 2016. Model numbers don’t mean anything lol

Honestly, we know where the root of this problem came from. Back in the 1990s Intel broke with convention of using ever increasing numeric model numbers
Intel didn’t like that other CPU manufacturers of x86 CPUs (AMD, Cyrix, IBM) could use the same numbering scheme. So Intel created “Pentium” because it could be copyrighted/trademarked so other companies couldn’t use it.

There is no 80486. It’s called the i486.
