Intel Processor Write for Us
When we talk about Intel processors, they all have a vocabulary that helps us understand their generation and range. When we talk about laptop processors, some letters also get added at the end, as a suffix. In this article, we will explain what those letters mean in Intel processors so that you can identify them just by looking at their model.
Both Intel and AMD try to simplify the names of their processors a lot. Still, in the end, since they have a good handful of generations, ranges, and variants, they have to complicate things a bit to differentiate some processors from others. For example, if you see an Intel Core i9-9980HK, you know it is a ninth-generation (9000 series) and enthusiast range (Core i9) processor, but what are those “HK” letters on the end of the processor?
The nomenclature of Intel processors
Before explaining the letters of Intel processors, it is essential to look at their categories and ranges. However, it is an already recurring theme that we have explained several times and that, almost by general culture, everyone knows.
The leading brand of processors of the brand is called Core, and it has the subcategories i3, i5, i7, and, more recently, i9. In this case, the higher number means higher range, with the Core i3 being the entry range, Core i5 mid-range, Core i7 high-end, and Core i9 enthusiast range. By this rule of three, in most cases, a Core i5 will be superior to a Core i3 and so on.
Then we have the numbering, where we find four digits: the first indicates the generation, so a Core i7-8700 processor we know belongs to the eighth generation for that 8; the other three numbers show the processor model, neither more nor less, and although there is no written rule for it, the higher that number is, the better the processor.
We come to the end of the processor letters, placed as a suffix behind these numbers.
There are some peculiarities in this system; the first generation of Intel Core processors did not use a representative number. They only had three numbers, such as in the Core i3-330M.
Another quirk is the laptop processors, where Intel uses odd numbers like on the Intel Core i7-7567U. It is a low-voltage dual-core CPU, rather than the quad-core processors that have the Core i7-7XXX nomenclature. There’s also the Core i7-7Y75, you’ll notice that it includes the letter “Y” in the middle of the numbers. Therefore we should see the name of the processor to know what it is.
