> AMD's part numbers contain a digit that increments with each year

Aha, but which digit? Sure, that's easy for server, HEDT and desktop (it's the first one) but if you look at their line of laptop chips then it all breaks down.





Lol no, for servers (Epyc) it is the last digit. Why? Who knows, to make it more confusing I guess.

I admit it took me until the 4th gen Epyc to realize this. I laughed out loud at myself/the numbering scheme.

Well yeah Epyc is little endian
