Well what do you guys think? I cant stand CPU model numbers, TL-60, T7500, PentiumIV 531, E6450 they all mean absolutely nothing to me, not a damn thing. I would need to google to find out what speeds they are and what they support. At least with the ghz naming scheme i could tell what the speed was! As a technologically inclined person i dont like them at all. I would be guessing if i said the E6450 is 2.4ghz, same as the E6400 which is also 2.4, i don't really know. At least before i would be sure as it would be in the name.
Suppose you could argue its better for average joe who would think a 3.8ghz pentium 4 is better than a 3.0ghz core2duo. But is average joe any better off with model numbers?
Averageperson1 - Hey dude! I just got my sweet new rig with an E4500 in it!
Averageperson2 - Wow really! Damn thats like 4000 bungholio points faster than my PentiumIV 531, i should really get a new one!
Averageperson1 - You should look into the new Athlon X2 6000+, its 6000! and it has a plus so it can probably go faster than 6000.
Averageperaon2 - Killer!
I could see the above happening somewhere. I dont really think model numbers help at all, with average joe or tech savvy people. Anyone else agree? Or do you think they are useful, if so tell me why?
