uarch names used to be different from that. But looking at wikipedia, things have gone completely apeshit after skylake :-/ We used to have one microarch and then a laptop,desktop and server sku, but now each of those has a separately named microarch, so where we had one new name each year, we now have at least 3. No wonder I've no sodding clue anymore. /me stmps off to get a beer to forget all I've seen ...
