What are you talking about? I replied above with a link that clearly describes their naming convention. It's painfully simply once you understand it.
I think OC refers to the change in naming scheme on the mobile chips. They changed it so that for example in 7640U, the 7 refers not to the architecture generation it instead refers to the launch year and the 4 is the actual indicator on the architecture generation.
A graphic explaining this can be found here: https://www.xda-developers.com/amd-processors-explained/
This does differ from the desktop naming scheme and it could be argued that this is to mislead customers.
Ahhh, my bad. I misread it. I'll check out the new stuff.
