CPU scam: Chuwi CoreBook X uses AMD Ryzen 5 5500U instead of 7430U
-
They're from different generations though. 5500U is Zen 2 while 7430U is Zen 3.
That's my bad for not remembering AMD's fucking atrocious nonstandard mobile chip naming schemes.
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 is what I mean 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
- 8086
- 8088
- 80186
- 80286
- 80386
- 80486
- Pentium ...wait, what?! Not 80586? Nope.
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.

Such a confident answer! And so incorrect too!

That's a model number, not a name. The first Pentium had a model number of A80501, but you wouldn't seriously claim that it's really the 80501, would you?

Read my prior post, I specifically SAID it was a model number.
You're embarrassing yourself with your pedantry. You said 80486 didn't exist. It did. Seriously, quit while you're behind here.

Oops, my mistake, you were wrong about the Pentium, then, not the 486. Its model number, as I said, was A80501. You switched from model numbers to names.

Apology accepted. Have a great day!
