A change in branding from the Meteor Lake generation
Updated at 22:00 on June 15, 2023
Announced that the CPU for the next client will be the “Core Processor”
Added “Core Ultra Processor”
At 22:00 on June 15, 2023, Intel announced that it will change the branding of its client processor products.
The brand that the company has so far called “the xx generation Intel Core processor” has four tiers of “Core i3/i5/i7/i9” (in this case the “class” of the CPU). , The model number attached according to a certain rule expresses the hierarchical relationship and added value.
For example, in the case of “Core i7-13700K” for desktop, it indicates that it is a tier from 13700K “13” to 13th generation Core, among them “i7”, and the 3-digit number (700) at the end of the number model number is within the same tier. , the last “K” indicates added value, in this case “magnification unlock”.
Excerpt from Intel documentation.Until now, the entire series was called the “Core processor” brand name, and it was divided into tiers such as “i3” and “i9”.
However, from the Meteor Lake generation and later Core processors, the following rules apply.
① Tiers such as Core i3/i5/i7/i9 are tiered as “Core 3/5/7/9” without “i”
② The notation that prefixes the generation name such as “xx generation” before the name of the Core processor will be abolished
③ The first (two digits?) of the numerical model number represents the generation, and the following several digits represent the hierarchical relationship, etc.
Explanation of the new rules.It is certain that an alphabet will be added to the end of the model number, but it is not defined how many digits the number model number will consist of in all.
The most important rule here is rule 1. The reason why the familiar “i” has been deleted from the tier expression is that Intel will newly prepare an “Intel Core Ultra processor” on top of the Core processor in the future.
It’s not yet clear what Ultra stands for, but it describes it as a brand for “top-of-the-line client-facing processors.” This may be just a multiplier unlock (whether OC is possible), or it may come with a combination of powerful GPUs and chiplets for AI processing that are not normally found in the line.
The “i” is omitted from the tier representation starting with the Meteor Lake generation.If you read from the badge design on the right (the product package and the sticker attached to the main body of the PC), it seems that there are only Core 3/5/7 core processors.
Newly introduced “Intel Core Ultra Processor” as a premium CPU.Looking at the badge, there is no “3” but there is a “9”
Along with this branding change, the badge design also changed. It is suggested that the normal version of the Core processor will be only 3 types of “Core 3/5/7”, and the Core Ultra will be “Core Ultra 5/7/9”. It is not yet clear how the specs will change, but if you are high-end oriented, the target of the next-generation Core processor will be the “Core Ultra 9 processor”.

Other rules have almost no impact on us end users. Regarding rule 2 to remove the “xx generation”, the official name used by Intel simply becomes simple, and when the author writes in a CPU review article, “the 14th generation Core 7 processor xxxx is…” It is a formal rule change because it has to be written like this.
I can’t say anything regarding the model number part of rule 3 because the nomenclature has not been clarified. After Meteor Lake, there is a possibility that it will be the same “Core 7-14700” notation as before, but there are predictions that the next generation will have a total of 4 digits. We have to wait for the product announcement at a later date for the exact notation around here and what characters are attached to the end.
love is not gonesomething transcendent is coming
Meteor Lake will be manufactured on Intel’s latest “Intel 4” process (effectively 7nm), and Intel has announced that Intel 4 can expect a 20% watt performance improvement over the existing Intel 7. And both the Core processor and the Core Ultra processor use Arc for the built-in GPU. I can’t wait to see how much performance improvement it will make.
It is written that Arc is used for the built-in GPU for both Core processor and Core Ultra processor
In addition, the badges were renewed to appeal to consumers by attaching them to the product, saying, “It’s an Intel CPU” and “It’s an Intel GPU.”
