Intel underestimates AMD's CPU naming convention.

According to Neowin , Intel is focusing on AMD's mobile products, specifically the Ryzen 7020 series and its complex branding scheme. The company compared the Zen 2-based Ryzen 5 7520U to a "snake head," alluding to the "half-baked" quality these processors offer.

AMD is being accused of using a naming convention that is likely to mislead customers.

Essentially, Intel is focusing on how AMD often continues to use older technology to offer customers cheaper products – a great strategy targeting budget-conscious customers or those who don't need the latest and greatest products. The problem is, Intel argues that AMD's recent rebranding, besides causing confusion, makes older technology look new. For example, Intel claims the Ryzen 5 7520U is based on the outdated Zen 2 architecture from 2019, but leads many to believe it's a more advanced chip from 2022.

Intel compared the AMD 7520U to the Core i5-1335U, with Intel's CPU scoring 83% better in the CrossMark benchmark conducted by BapCo, emphasizing that "newest doesn't always mean latest."

According to Intel, many unsuspecting customers might assume the Ryzen 5 7520U is the latest product simply because it has the number 7 in its name, like the latest AM5 CPU. In reality, only the third number indicates the underlying architecture, and it's very difficult to detect.

Decoding the naming convention on AMD's Ryzen CPUs

Here's how to decipher AMD's confusing processor names:

• The first number represents the year of release: 7 - 2022, 8 - 2023, 9 - 2024…
• The second number indicates the market segment: 1 and 2 - Athlon, 3 and 4 - Ryzen 3…
• The third number refers to architecture: 2 - Zen 2, 3 - Zen 3, 4 - Zen 4…
• The fourth number is for distinguishing features: 0 - lower, 5 - higher.
• The letters indicate the TDP and form factor: U - ultrabook, HS - gaming...

Therefore, users can interpret AMD Ryzen 5 7520U as a mid-range Zen 2 processor released in 2022 for ultrabooks with a TDP of 15-28W.

AMD positions the Ryzen 7320 CPU towards budget-friendly systems and integrates a more advanced iGPU. However, Intel counters this argument by stating that “the future of education and learning depends on the latest technology,” adding that the Intel Core i3-N305 offers faster performance in standard tasks and music or photo editing.
