Intel's Controversial Attack on AMD's CPU Numbering and Marketing Tactics
Intel criticized AMD's CPU numbering system in a now-deleted presentation, accusing the company of selling "snake oil" by using older processor architectures in supposedly "new" chips. However, Intel's own history of rebranding and recycling old technology undermines its argument. While AMD's naming scheme may be confusing, Intel's practice of reusing technology and releasing incremental iterations of its processors is not much different. Both companies have engaged in similar practices, making Intel's criticism of AMD's approach seem unearned and petty.
