Do I think intel is crazy there? Hell yes.
But marketing couldn't care less what makes sense from a technical point of view...
But as long as they don't suddenly start to reuse the same cpu designations making them nearly indistinguishable before you buy (I'm looking at you amd and nvidia...) I'm not going to complain too much.

Zen can execute two AVX 256 instructions per clock AFAIK, with the exception of FMA where it is executes one AVX 256 per clock.
(If anybody remembers Larrabee)
