Does a golf cart get any faster if you call it a car? In the processor world, we're about to find out. This week, Intel announced its new 7th generation, “Kaby Lake” laptop processors, and the low-power, mediocre-performing m5 and m7 series chips are officially gone. Sort of.
 
Intel are free to call new chips whatever they like.

Besides, i5 didn't mean the same thing to everyone already, as they come in dual and quad cores, hell I'm sure there's even some dual core i7's.

Not saying they aren't free to rebrand them. just odd calling mCPUs i5/i7 instead of m5/m7...
