Intel Kills Celeron and Pentium Branding with new "Intel Processor" Naming Scheme

[defaultluser]

What do you mean "ditch that retarded naming scheme"? Core i7 is still called Core i7.

And if you really want to laugh at Intel's silly "Core" naming scheme:

• The original Core was based on the "Enhanced Pentium M"/"Yonah" CPU microarchitecture and included models with 1 or 2 cores.
• The microarchitecture of Core 2 CPUs was called "Core". So a Core 2 Duo is a CPU with 2 Core cores.
• "1st generation Core" is the 3rd generation of CPUs called "Core"

This is going to get confusing next generation. "I have a 7800X" could mean "I have a Core i7-7800X" (6-core Skylake HEDT CPU) or "I have a Ryzen 7 7800X" (8-core Zen 4 CPU). It's already confusing when I look for "5500U laptop" and get results for both the Ryzen 5 5500U and i7-5500U.


The i3-1210U exists and has 2P+4E cores. I think it makes sense to have a name below i3 for the 1P+4E models... but "Pentium Gold" is pointlessly long. It should just be "Pentium" IMO (leaving the "Celeron" name for E-core-only models rather than differentiating between Pentium Gold and Silver), or they could add "i1".

I mean what I said: core i7is a lot more descriptive family header than

Core solo
core duo
core 2 duo
core 2 quad

the core i3, i5, and i7 nomenclatures were a lot clearer than that previous shit. of course Intel continued to make celerons and Pentiums identical until kaby lake (pointless differentiation, which killed any hope for the brands)

Does it include FMA and AVX2 Intel? Or will it still be 2007 trash?
AMD is giving AVX512 to all, yet Intel can't give you extensions from the Nehalem days in 2022.

They should, unless they regress the feature sets of future chips. The Tiger Lake and Alder Lake Celerons and Pentiums have FMA3 and AVX2.

Not the laptop Silver ones this is replacing.

Truth be said, AMD 3020e processor exists, it found its place in Windows notebooks below 300 EUR with 4 or 8 GB of RAM. That's where those brand-free Intels fit too, right?
