Originally I had plans to make my trusty 7th Samurai a trifle more modern, and update his Ryzen CPU to the newly launched 3rd Generation Ryzen.
That, of course, would force me to get a new motherboard, other RAMs, NMVes, &c, &c, &c.
I started to read the specs and slowly came to the conclusion that I would have to pay a l-o-t of money just to get a very small improvement. It simply was not worth it.
During that process, I noticed the names they use for motherboards these days. I mean, some time back, a motherboard would have names such as Hero, Rampage, Aorus, or Tomahawk.
Gone are those days. One of the best ones today is called Godlike.
Possibly a swing back. Marketing folks may eventually think(*) that these names don’t look too serious and look like a d:ck contest. So to look professional they will go back to names that look like license plates: DCZ-899-KW.
(*) “think” could be an exaggeration, speaking of marketing people.
Sony is different altogether, known for its product SKU hell since the beginning of time. The same pair of headphones could have 30 SKUs. Differences could be as minute as the date or place of manufacturing.
