Why not? The mobile ones suck since they're just HT dual cores, it sounded like they're making it similar to the i7 with less cache. The i3 already have the HT dual core segment of the market

They're honestly not THAT bad. For a grandma that just watches netflix and emails her grandkids, celeron/pentium is fine. Celerons multitask like blindfolded pigs on acid though...
They make those. i7.
This is... an incredibly accurate metaphor.

Since you clearly didn't understand me, let me put it in another way:
Please don't make a desktop i7 and call it an i5.

If they make it an i5 it would probably be cheaper than all Kaby i7s which would be good.
What's in a name? Would a CPU by any other name perform as well?

It obviously won't affect performance one bit. I'm talking about consumer clarity and consistency.
And because it's an i5, it's not necessarily going to be cheaper than all i7s. Plenty non-K i7s cheaper than unlocked i5s. This is an unlocked i5 with HT. The cost is the same, regardless of what label you slap on it.
Look at NVIDIA. They have a few GPUs called "Titan X" with massive performance differences. Razer has "Blade" and "The New Blade" (and Pro versions of both as well).
Consistency bois, alll I want. Being able to know 95% of the details, without having to Google it.

I can get behind this 110%. The naming patterns of various computer parts and products drive me insane sometimes. Do you know how many HP 15" Netbooks there are? Too. Friggin. Many. Particularly when it comes to tracking down parts for them. Naming consistency is definitely helpful for customers as I pretty much tell people "this one's faster, trust me" when selling laptops. The specs are right there but trying to explain why a quad core Pentium is faster than a Celeron but slower than a technically dual core i5 is impossible. I'm usually of the opinion that if you have to ask the difference you likely won't notice it, at least with my clientele.
Same. It seems like a certain degree of irony to me since i3/i5/i7 was a move to simplify these naming conventions yet they're becoming increasingly convoluted.

It was pretty simple when it first came out but yeah... it got out of hand again.

Intel should rename celeron, pentium, i3, i5, i7 and xeon to slowa, okaya, decenta, gooda, besta, and worka.

Loosely related thread, but bleh.
Saw this today. Where those people at with money that's just burning straight through their pockets?

Curious how the AMD side will react, if X399 has a dual socket variant I'll probably drop a couple g's and be an enormous hypocrite.
Also curious what kind of price gouging the i9 will have since the 6950X was already super inflated.

That's not even for LGA 1151.

Hm. Reading comprehension is lacking.
I dunno man looks on topic to me
