The end of an era, I myself have almost only known this branding!

Congrats you have made me feel old. Oddly enough the Core naming scheme is older than the i3 i5 i7 naming scheme. I remember getting a Core 2 Duo and being stoked to have more than one core.

Mx is the base.
Mx Pro and Mx Max are mid to mid-high.
Mx Ultra is the highest spec.

Still don't know how Max is lower than Ultra. Guess it just sounds more biggerer.

blitzen@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 3y

M2 "Max" from the company who make "Macs". Ya, no confusion there.

Apple’s is much more straight forward than this.
