Intel drops "i" moniker with upcoming 14th gen Meteor Lake, 18C/18T Core Ultra 5 1003H shows up on AoTS benchmark

[Redaktion]

Intel will soon introduce rebranding of its client Core lineup of processors. The first signs of this came from a leaked Ashes of the Singularity benchmark that refers to the CPU as an Intel Core Ultra 5 1003H with 18 cores and 18 threads. Subsequently, an Intel rep confirmed that a rebrand for the client lineup is indeed underway and that more details would be shared soon.

Btw, what the hell is that retarded name Intel Core Ultra? (ICU = I See You, lol)

What's next, Intel Core Ultra Max Pro as their top of the line (i9 now)? And I was just saying, some 2-3 days, how Intel's naming system at least makes sense when compared to AMD's pure randomness but holy hell this is a major joke if it turns to be true.

As bad as that naming sounds, it is welcome news for a year or 2. Kind of annoying when looking at laptops and they just advertise them as "i7" with no model number or generation, then you find out it is 3 years old.

AMD's naming isn't pure randomness. The desktop CPU naming is easy enough to understand given several generations of the same 4-16 core counts in a row, and the mobile naming is based on a secret decoder ring, not random at all.

Intel's naming is worse as usual, but it doesn't matter. You'll either figure it out by looking at a table of all the processors, or you're an ordinary non-techie shopper getting confused and fooled by all the numberz.

Brilliant money grab from Intel! Street criminals should study from them)

Intel and AMD just reported big losses in the first quarter of 2023 for consumers products espesially. They stopped doing what people need. And prices do not match performance growth.

Why couldn't they just leave the 'i' on mobile processors and without the 'i' on desktop processors so that they can be easily distinguished? Core i3/i5/i7/i9 on mobile processors, Core 3/5/7/9 on desktop processors.
