That's not L4 vs L6, that's start in 2015 vs 2108 or whatever.

There is an overlap. Both V4 and V6 are currently LTS until April.

There are big discrepancies in the US alone. I'm comparing mine (L6+) to those.

Or at least because people incorrectly think it did.

v6's L3 model is pretty much the same as v4's.

They skipped the 4/4T series because of some superstition about the number 4, which makes the 6T 3 years behind 2T

It's about the 2015 models.

I think 3rd gen is 2015.

fgandiya | karma 176 | avg karma 1.16 · | 2016-11-22 13:31:04

That's the 2015 version.

I don't have a single source, but it is not hard to figure out. Some of it is in MichKa's posts on Google Groups, and notice for example the >1 year long gap between Jet 4.0 SP5 and SP6.

Thanks but that is '13 and earlier. was asking about W14 (and previous batches).

orbitur | karma 1189 | avg karma 2.43 · | 2017-07-28 17:12:09

Holy shit, I had no idea there's a 6th gen, AND it came out in 2014.

I thought they were still using a handicapped A5.

Ah nvm, 2nd gen was in 2015.

OakNinja | karma 323 | avg karma 5.57 · | 2020-01-09 23:52:49

You don’t agree on the 16” being the spiritual successor of the mid 2015 15”?

gum_ina_package | karma 654 | avg karma 5.03 · | 2014-01-08 05:02:29+00:00

Not the new one! It's up to 2048xsomething-or-another.

rcthompson | karma 7252 | avg karma 4.02 · | 2019-06-21 04:18:07+00:00

Oh, I misread the article. It says "sold between September 2015 and February 2017", but it's only talking about 2015 models.

balls187 | karma 6403 | avg karma 2.06 · | 2016-10-26 22:45:43

There is a difference between the platform update, and model year updates.

JustSomeNobody | karma 7775 | avg karma 1.58 · | 2017-02-27 17:23:35+00:00

This was last year's model, though.

sundvor | karma 5113 | avg karma 2.62 · | 2023-07-11 23:19:06

And the 2023 was a stripped down version only available in Europe as well, that + the track change is why I looked up the 2017 numbers to compare properly.

Shorel | karma 3674 | avg karma 1.11 · | 2015-04-27 17:57:33+00:00

It's being replaced this year by a D version.

achamayou | karma 850 | avg karma 2.66 · | 2017-09-25 19:46:32+00:00

It’s considerably older than Ext4 though.
