Unfortunately, this is a feature, not a bug. Intel wants their branding to have this effect... the lay-person isn't supposed to understand Sandy Bridge (i7-2700k) vs Skylake (i7-6700k)

Before that era people didn't know much about the details either, but they did understand 800 MHz was faster than 533 MHz.
