On desktop, the naming convention of intel is fine. It's on the mobile market where it's abused, seeing at how little differencs there is between a mobile core i7 and a mobile core i9. At least on desktop the numbers is also indicative of a larger core number.Not hating on Intel, I just don't agree with the way they market their product.
Go into an electrical retailer and they always try to upsell or sell based on the fact it is an i7 or i9 etc.
Their own charts are misleading and have been doing it for years.

This style of selling technique is ongoing.
And Amd mobile naming is even worse in my book. For some mysterious reason, they are choosing an higher first number for their apu/mobile CPU. Ryzen 4800H when it should have been a Ryzen 3800H smh.
But again, tech company are rarely good when it comes to make a simple and clear naming convention. One of the reason that I became interested in tech was to avoid getting swindled by vendors needing to meet a quota. "That pentium D laptop, is far better than that core 2 duo laptop that we don't have in stock anymore".
There's too many peoples who are afraid of tech and don't even try to understand what's behind the numbers, when it's not that hard. If you can read a graph, it's enough to know what to buy, and what to avoid.
