Maybe we should have things like A4, A5, A5X, A6, A6X after someone has passed the G5 status. Just a suggestion. Please take it into consideration.
That would be nice ... The 5000 jump in between is difficult ...
At by the way: I was wondering if that is correct ... Between 68010 and 68020 ... Only 5 ? Or is it because the 010 was not soo relevant ?
68000 => 1,505 posts
68010 => 2,000 posts
68020 => 2,005 posts
68030 => 2,500 posts
Please fix after I reached 68020
Suggest we stay with Intel CPUs afterwards ... As all CPUs from the list are Mac CPUs and not iDevices.
CoreDuo, C2D, i3, i5, i7 ...or some Xeons ...
The G5 was a processor for non-mobile workstations and servers. The A4 and so on are processors for mobile platforms.Maybe we should have things like A4, A5, A5X, A6, A6X after someone has passed the G5 status. Just a suggestion. Please take it into consideration.

Why not?
Technically they're not apple made but designed by Apple insofar that the chips are actually produced by Samsung.
I like the idea however that we use the A5/A5X/A6 for the reasons you mentioned
Why not?
The problem with Intel titles is that things like i3 and i5 do not refer to the generation, they are product categories. Ivy Bridge is the third generation to use the same product categories, which makes things confusing because an Ivy Bridge i5 can be a lot faster than a Nehalem i7. The same goes with Xeons, it's just a branding for Intel's server/workstation CPUs.
To stick with the same titles as with PPC, we would have to use codenames like Nehalem and Sandy Bridge but I don't think that's a good idea. A5/A5X/A6/etc would be the easiest to implement.

Why bother unless you have someone with enough posts to really surpass the current scheme.
Boy howdy.
Also, I've always been a bit disappointed in the rewarding of post whores.
A scheme that takes into account post quality as well as quantity would be nice. Yes, difficult - but better.
