I usually search for the iGPU device ID, which is available on Intel ARK, then go to the list of Intel iGPUs on the english version of Wikipedia, as the list is very detailed and iGPUs with identical names can be distinguished by the device ID you got from Intel ARK. TechPowerUp has a nice GPU specs database too, but navigating through it can be a bit challenging...

Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

Are you going to say anything about how the Ti 4000 series is older and slower than the RTX 4000 series as well then? It's common to reuse numbers.
Nah, I already did my line. You can use that one.
But they're obviously rated in a consecutive sequence of numbers. All you need to know is that the higher the sequence, the better it is from its predecessors or alternatives.
Obviously if the naming scheme changes, it's a whole new sequence, but as long as there's a chronological order, it's easy to find the best, newer, or latest.
Xe Max, Iris Plus, Iris Pro,
These have literally not been on sale for a few years now, so unless you're buying used you won't see them.
At the end of the day, I'm close to just saying Ryzen 7000 series and getting a 660m or 680m, because I know they're powerful, and at least I can look up their model number
You do realize that you need a decoder wheel to find out what generation an AMD CPU is right?
a decoder wheel? no you don't.... i's something like xx4x is Zen 4 and xx3x is Zen 3... not hard...

All I ever buy is used; I never buy new computers. My computing isn't that demanding that I would need latest things. But I don't know anything about these iGPUs.
Fortunately, I can look these ones up to compare. But what's the iGPU of a n95, and how does one look that up?
Product naming is fun.
It's also fun to start looking for their linux driver for the first time. You find something called i915 and wonder what it has to do with your gpu.
And that's because intel 915 chipset from two decades ago was the last one to receive its very own graphics driver, after that they have just updated the existing one to include new devices. The driver was never renamed.
