Seriously, the number of 8th gen architectures in that table is just ridiculous. Is Intel doing this out of desperation? Even Samsung stopped the shotgun approach to marketing a while back.
I just have to officially come out in defense of even numbers. The blatant, years-long entrenched odd-itism in Intel's CPU model branding is starting to get beyond ridiculous. Yes, I know that 3, 5, 7 and 9 are really cool and everything - but why do we, the consumers, continue to act indifferently when confronted with such odious, manifest prejudice against 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10? Even numbers matter too!
I must have been doing it wrong all these years. I specifically have 4 SSDs in my rig FOR games (and OS of course), the spinners are there for infrequently accessed dumb data storage/backups.

Grrr special place in hades for marketeers who designate a chip as "I9" with no AVX-512. At least from what I can read on the ARK page at https://ark.intel.com/products/134903/Intel-Core-i...
