Intel leverages new core branding for upcoming CPUs
Intel has announced a major rebranding of its CPU lineup, transitioning from the traditional Core i3, i5, i7, and i9 branding to the new Core 3, Core 5, Core 7, and Core 9 nomenclature. This shift will be reflected in the product branding, including brand strings, text, and badges.
In addition, Intel is introducing the Intel Core Ultra processor brand for their most advanced client processors, streamlining the Intel Core processor brand for mainstream offerings, and adopting a 3/5/7/9 processor tiering for future generations.
The Intel Evo Edition platform brand for Evo-verified designs will also evolve, and the company will introduce the Intel vPro Enterprise and Intel vPro Essentials device labels for relevant commercial systems.
This comprehensive naming scheme overhaul will be implemented across all client products, with the Meteor Lake CPU family being the first to adopt it from the second half of 2023. Notably, the removal of the long-standing "i" prefix marks a significant change in Intel's naming convention after more than a decade.
