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 marketPlease don't make a desktop i5 with HT. It's bad enough on the mobile market as it is. I hope it's incorrect, seems to be just rumors atm.
Yeah. Most mobile i5 and i7's should be labelled i3, since they're dual cores with HT.
In my perfect world it would always be:
Celeron/Pentium = badbad dual cores
i3 = Pentium with HT
i5 = quad core
i7 = i5 + HT
Please don't make a desktop i5 with HT. It's bad enough on the mobile market as it is. I hope it's incorrect, seems to be just rumors atm.
Celerons multitask like blindfolded pigs on acid though...
Since you clearly didn't understand me, let me put it in another way:They make those. i7.
If they make it an i5 it would probably be cheaper than all Kaby i7s which would be good.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.
What's in a name? Would a CPU by any other name perform as well?Since you clearly didn't understand me, let me put it in another way:

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.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.
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.The naming patterns of various computer parts and products drive me insane sometimes.
It was pretty simple when it first came out but yeah... it got out of hand again.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.
@CalinWhere those people at with money that's just burning straight through their pockets?

That's not even for LGA 1151.
Hm. Reading comprehension is lacking.Loosely related thread, but bleh.
I dunno man looks on topic to meThat's not even for LGA 1151.
