So do NVidia. And Intel. And AMD.
The only real thing model numbers are useful for are to judge a product's relative positioning within other models of the same generation. And even then, both NVidia and AMD like to deceptively rebadge massively cut down versions of two generations' old cards with the same model number as their top end desktop cards, just shoving an "M" on to the end of it... GTX 880M anyone?
