It's not a completely new chip, but it has been sufficiently tweaked, so whether this is a new generation or not is a grey area, really.
I'm sure they are tweaked and have a better PPP (performance, price, power usage) in this round. But this number-game is the "gray zone" if making a lot of confusions.

They should,'t change the first digits. They cold add something to the last digits to indicate improvements/evolutions on the same "old" 40nm node.

This is going to be a big mess, if not bigger than G92, at least as confusing. Why can't they keep it real?
