<instructions>Your goal is to analyze the following comment and estimate how highly it will be upvoted by the Hacker News community.</instructions><comment><author>lostgame</author><text>&lt;i&gt;Thank you&lt;/i&gt; for saying this.&lt;p&gt;Honestly - it&amp;#x27;s not even the i3, i5, i7, i9 thing. It&amp;#x27;s the fact that two i5s, etc; can be &lt;i&gt;ludicrously&lt;/i&gt; different in terms of performance from one another because of the sub-generations within the named generations.&lt;p&gt;Yes - it&amp;#x27;s ridiculous that I could buy an i7 ten years ago, buy an i7 today, and yet - of course - they are absolutely nothing close to each other in terms of performance.&lt;p&gt;IIRC the Pentium line did not make this mistake. (Though the Celeron line could be very confusing, if I recall correctly.)</text><parent_chain><item><author>PragmaticPulp</author><text>I will never understand why Intel stuck with the i3, i5, i7, and later i9 branding across so many generations.&lt;p&gt;I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve heard people wonder why their 10-year old computer is slow. “But I have an i7”</text></item><item><author>1_player</author><text>Note: 30% faster than a thermally challenged i9 on a MacBook Pro, not a desktop one.
