Your method would work too. I was simply explaining how Intel does it currently.
What other, if any, information is embedded in the numeric "1620" portion, for example, I don't know. The number of cores and threads is never embedded in their model names. The E5-4669 v3 is an 18 core processor, while the E5-4669 v4 is a 22 core processor.
We are lucky to get the processor generation and some indication of its capabilities in the consumer processor naming scheme.
