[Gearbest News]On the evening of June 15, Intel officially announced a major upgrade of the Core brand, which mainly involves three major aspects, including: brand name and new visual identity, generational name position, and model grading naming method. The most eye-catching thing is its naming method for new products-Intel Core Ultra.
Intel Core Ultra
For those who are interested in computers, the naming method of the XXth generation Intel Core i3/i5/i7/i9 has been deeply rooted in people's hearts after more than ten years of iterative development. However, perhaps seeing that AMD next door has a variety of new CPU naming methods this year, Intel has also decided to reclassify its products. In addition, the new 14th generation processors have been greatly upgraded in performance and architecture. In order to better distinguish different product positioning, Intel decided to introduce a new naming method.
According to Intel, Intel will still use the classic “14th generation i7” naming method in the Raptor Lake-HX series for gaming laptops and the Raptor Lake-S series for desktops. But other than that, the “H, P, and U” will disappear and be replaced by two new names, namely “Intel Core Ultra” and “Intel Core”. Intel Core Ultra representatives are built using the new “Meteor Lake” architecture, and Ultra also reflects its stronger performance.
New Intel Core Ultra series
The new Intel Core Ultra series is mainly divided into three levels: Ultra 5, Ultra 7, and Ultra 9, and the algebra is recalculated. The new product launched this time is the first generation. Therefore, its official name should be called Intel Core Ultra 1st generation processor or Intel Core Ultra processor (1st generation). It has nothing to do with the Core i series, but it still retains the standard pressure (H) series and There are two suffixes for low voltage (U) series. According to reports, in addition to adopting the latest architecture, the Ultra series' graphics memory performance has also been greatly improved. “ARC graphics card” will be included in the “Intel Core Ultra” processor as a standard configuration of the standard pressure H series. The low-voltage U series will be distinguished by the ordinary “Intel Graphic” logo.
Intel Core series
The emergence of the Core Ultra series does not mean the disappearance of the Core i series. It is still retained, mainly used for the naming method of the Rapter Lake-HS/S version, and is consistent with the current 13th generation naming method. However, its official name will weaken the generation number, changing from “Intel Core 14th Generation Processor” to “Intel Core Processor (14th Generation)”.
The naming method of the Refresh version of the former Raptor Lake-U series has also changed. It will be directly named “Intel Core”. There are three specifications: Intel Core 3, Intel Core 5 and Intel Core 7. Under the new naming format, it is called “Intel Core 3/5/7 First Generation”.

Finally, Intel stated that the Evo certification logo will no longer be bound to the processor logo, but will appear as a separate logo, which will help users better understand the Intel Evo platform certification.
