Sorry, this is confusing on multiple levels. 
- where do the numbers come from?
- the term 'family' appears to carry a different meaning here vs the 'family' used further down for architectures with the `f` suffix. CUDA documentation uses "Major revision number" or "Major architecture" here.
- "Onion model", while somewhat descriptive, is somewhat informal. I'd stick with specific ordering properties. Major revision numbers are strictly ordered.
