Understanding Intel® Product Naming Conventions:
The processor number is just one of several factors—along with processor brand, system configurations, and system-level benchmarks—to be considered when choosing the right processor for your computing needs.
Distinguish product brands, brand modifiers, generations, SKUs, and product lines from Intel® processor names.
Intel builds specific processors to serve affordable computing sold under the Intel® processor.
Brand
The Intel naming scheme starts with the processor’s brand—the overall product line the processor was created for. The most common Intel processor names begin with Intel® Core™ or the new brand naming convention – Intel® Processor (replacing Intel® Pentium® and Intel® Celeron® product lines starting in 2023).
Intel® Processor is an economical product line created for price-conscious consumers. Intel® Core™ processors bring faster performance and additional features not available in Intel® Processor models.
Intel® Xeon® processors offer a higher level of performance for servers and workstations.
