It makes even less sense when you consider that all these i3/i5/i7/whatever designations are just marketing ploys that don't actually mean anything.

I have a number of computers with Intel processors of varying generations. I know by heart how many cores and threads each one has. I couldn't care less whether any given one is an i3/i5/i7 -- only people who have little clue about processors care about those brand name designations intended to command a higher price for about the same performance.
