K = unlocked multiplier
H = high performance graphics
Q = quad core
U = ultra low power
Y = extremely low power
E = ECC memory
M = mobile
T = low power, but still LGA
P = no integrated graphics
G = RX Vega graphics
*broadwell only (5xxx):*
R = high-end mobile, similar to H (but soldered on?)
C = unlocked = K
*as of x299/skylake-x:*
X = HEDT platform
_also note_ : i9-7980XE is not X+E, it just means "xtreme edition"

What about S?
Tldw... That's a new one for me
Judas Mugensson S chips are also low power, but not as low-power as T (which also means Tray, as in those chips are unavailable in retail to consumers)

@@tx3_roby639 I am hoping that was a joke. No. Of course they won't.
I love how "Y" refers to extremely low power. It's like Intel is asking, "but y tho?"
low power is “U”
@@rohin4429 That's correct, but I wonder if you watched the video all the way through. "U" stands for low power, while "Y" stands for extremely low power. So while you're correct, there's also nothing wrong with what I typed.

Thank you Linus for making these videos! It's been more than one and a half decade since I had a desktop, and wathcing your videos in the past few years, along with Luke's, Jay's, Paul's and Dmitri's is what gave me the knowledge and motivation to finally build one completely on my own. I just ordered the parts yesterday and can't wait to start.
Keep doing what you're doing!
Greetings from Hungary!

Good luck!
So, how did it go?
I love these short little videos from him
4:33 The Broadwell C/R chips are actually quite special (and honestly deserved for attention than they got). The C-chips (i5-5675C and i7-5775C) were the only socketed chips with Crystalwell (embedded L4 cache/VRAM for a respectable iGPU) and were also unlocked. The R-chips were the BGA variants of the same. The iGPU of those chips (Iris Pro) rivaled a GTX 750, IIRC.
I have that iFixit kit and I’ve used it nearly every day at work since I bought it :)
By the way, very good rundown on the meaning of those letters! I’ll take those into consideration when I make my next purchase:)

They forgot one "S" denotes "performance optimised lifestyle" which may relate to the addition of embedded options being available vs not being on the standard chips. Also generally these chips have a lower base clock but have the same boost clock as their normal chip counterparts.
4:04
Intel + AMD = ???????
Yes. Contrary to what the fanboys think, what megacorporations actually care about is profit, and they will even work together if that leads to increasing it.
I absolutely love the way this guy throws around hand/arm motions. They say 90% of communication is body language, this guy kicks that up to 99.9%.
Intel graphics ? High performance graphics ? Error 404, performance graphics not found.
Delirious Mako that's only because I disable those Graphics so that I could overclock my chip better

2:32 THIS IS WHAT MY PARENTS QUESTION EVERY DAY
My fellow indian also watches linus
I have been looking for this! Thank you.
Thank you for the information the link you gave really helped
Thank you so much for this explanation of part of their chip naming.
Intel Chip Naming is a Big Box of Tangled String
Intel has different Cores i3, i5, i7, i9, and Xeon.
Each one of those has at least 10 different versions of it.
They use a bunch of 5 digit numbers that are not always in order.
They have like 11 different "Architectures", roughly one per year.
Each Architecture has its own name.
All of the architectures either look similar or sound similar, like Lake, or Coffee, or Skylake, or Bridge, on and on.
There are like 11 "Generations".
There are varying number of Cores, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 etc
Some of the chips are for Desktop, some for Mobile, some are Embedded.
Each and every dimension that I've listed so far, can be intermixed, intermingled, intertwined with every other dimension I've listed so far.
Plus there's a lot of factors that I haven't mentioned.
Wikipedia has a ton of information, but it's like jumping into the ocean and trying to write down the names of all the fish you see.
Intel has a lot of lists on its website too.
I've copied dozens of files, I've created 5 subdirectories, ~30 files, and many many hyperlinks connecting those files together.
I have been working for 4 to 10 hours per session, for at least 3 sessions trying to figure all of this stuff out.
I think that Intel is intentionally trying obfuscate/confuse/befuddle the outsiders, so that they cannot make an intelligent decision, and instead just have to rely on the marketing hype.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS !!!!!!
They should name their Chips as follows: Year, Month, Day, # of Cores, Base Clock Speed, Architecture, Familiar name.
Then they should have an easy-to-access webpage where people can look up all of the detailed information about that chip from their website.
Examples (made-up):
Intel 2021.04.08, 8 Core, 3.8 MHz, Cypress Cove, Invigerator, or
Intel 2020.11.05, 6 Core, 3.4 MHz, Comet Lake, Leveller Upper, or
Intel 2017.06.23, 4 Core, 2.9 MHz, Kaby Lake, Monster Killer, or whatever
where can we see your work by the way?
You missed S
Yeah, totally!
"Performance-optimized lifestyle".
S stands for..
Slow! lol
Maze I think Special. The only S I’ve seen is in the iMac
You have been doing this for a long long time mate I remember you from years back. By the way ! Your good at your job .
What a presentation! Subscribed!
every time i watch linus videos, i learn new stuff, thank you linus. :) god bless you.

Linus: While the newer 'G' CPU's...
*pauses video*
Me: Wait a second...
*clicks search and types 'dxdiag'*
Thank you for making this video, this helped me to see what laptop i'll buy:)
It's been exactly 1year since this came out
k: overclocking enabled
H: high power and performance, optimized for mobile
U: low power, for mobile
Y: ultra low power (usually for laptops) (but y tho), not recommended for gaming
E: Embedded
T: low power for desktops, usually in all in one pcs
P: less powerful integrated graphics, its cheaper and meant for people who only use their igpu for troubleshooting
F: no integrated graphics
G: Amd's rx vega graphics built in, branded as radeon technologies group
X: means extreme series, also unlocked (x for xpensive?)
*Special* *letters* *for* *Broadwell:*
R: fits in BGA sockets
C: same as K
edits:
M: mobile (QM is quad core mobile)
Q: quad core
S: special edition
also you can have quad core without Q, even alot of U series cpus have 4core now
usually letters can be mixed together and mean both of the two things, (with the one exception of XE, which means higher core count variant of the cpu)
Which means all the Intel processor has build in graphics ?? But only the F series does have igpu?
@@successpro9424 yeah all chips not from F series has integrated graphics, people dont talk about it bcoz integrated graphics usually arent very good and many laptops and such just have a seperate better dedicated gpu in them
Mine was I7-7700HQ. What does that mean? Is it high and have quad core?
I don't catch up what Linus said
@@akmalferdiansyah1137 H stands for high performance and q stands for quadcore so it isn't bad or anything
@@akmalferdiansyah1137 HQ is similar to H, except its 4cores
didnt u forget 'S' ?
there are some intel with a S at the end for i think low power then the non S ?
like this one i5 3340s
It's like a bit improvement. It's not much.
Yea, he missed that one. My CPU is a S generation (i5 4440s) which its stock clock speed and tdp is lower than the 4440.
I believe S means "Special Edition" or something like that. It's basically a binned version of the non-s version (at least with the 9900ks)
i needed this
2:25 lol I have always thought that it means high quality until this video. By the way thanks for the explanation :)
For more confusion, "E" has been very rarely used... plenty of Celerons and Pentiums (and Haswell and earlier i3s) support ECC memory as long as they're used with an appropriate motherboard chipset. And of course they don't stick "E" on the Xeon model numbers, ECC support there is a given.
You need to have iFixit make a special LTT "I break it" edition kit. It would sell out.
Thanks for posting this video I found it very helpful. Is give me some clue of what to purchase in the future. :)
Had my volume up all the way without knowing, intro blasted my ears

Hey can you please make a video about PCIe lanes? Mostly in intel since its so very confusing. For me at least an owner of 7700K their website says that I have 16 pcie lanes however my motherboard can offer more for like m.2 ssds and such, i have only understood this after a lot of research and in my opinion this should be a lot clearer to your average bob. so it could really help if you guys made a video about this.
My first time coming across this channel... I just love the guy's playful energy
Great video. Thank you!!
I love the thumbnail. Perfect reaction image for when someone says something that is complete rubbish and want to be snarky about dismissing their opinion

Hahahaha if you guys don't understand why am i laughing my pp out is v sause always starts a video with saying something and then he says or is it
Thanks for the information Linus.

*"Speaking of latest updates... Tunnel Bear!"*
Question: Is there any utility (or DOS command) that can give the Serial Number of an INTEL or AMD Microprossessor? It seems that too many people interpret CPU to mean the Tag Number of the computer -- in the case of Dell or similar SN for other brands. What I need is the serial number of the PROCESSOR, like an i3-2120 or i5-2400 or i7-2600. Besides the numbers that are stamped or engraved onto the chip, how else can I keep a record of the CPUs that I sell or purchase? I have used CPU-Z, Intel Identification Utility, System Information,. CMD prompt, etc., but have never found a serial number, unless I have the box it came in when it was new. Any help would be appreciated greatly! Thanks in advance!
I have never once thought HQ stood for "high quality".. for some reason it always made me think "Headquarters" tho...? lol
I always thought High Quality, but I just assumed it was marketing bullshit. Glad to see I wasn't totally wrong.
If you think of headquarter when you see HQ you should be an military enthusiast or veteran or, in the service
What about S? Some Sandy bridge and Ivy Bridge CPUs have an S variant of their chips
S- Performance optimized Lifestyle. Might sound like optimizing your CPU for better Performance but actually, put a i5-2600 for example with a i5-2600S and the normal version gets higher score in benchmarks(PerformanceTest for example)
@@Delta69 i5 2600 dont exists
@@anaalitappi525 sorry I meant i7-2600 :)
I literally had an ad with Linus in it before the video
Weird, I'm seeing that M very commonly actually, from what I can recall. For example in Lenovo ThinkPads and business models from other manufacturers.

This video should be named learning alphabet with intel.
Intel cpu letters simplified:
U=worse than it seems for the generation
F=doesn't have integrated graphics
K=overclockable
M=mobile
S=slightly worse than the non s cpu (kinda like 8800 gt and 8800 gts)
That's all the ones I can remember
H is for higher power, HQ even higher power for laptops but discontinued with 8th gen, T is included in caseless desktops, rest idk
Thx bro

Water.mp4 Memes u wrong 4 that 😂
The m wasnt exclusively used for xeon. The intel i3-2330m was a laptop chip mainly used in the Hp probook 4530s
This m did stand for mobile
It also used intels “Intel 3000 graphics m or mobile” integrated graphics

"Please make a video about "Processor VS Microprocessor
How many suffixes does there need to be ? I remember when all you needed to know was that "SX was for Sucks", and "DX was for Does Extra" for the processors.
ah yes, except now F means no iGPU, There is now G1, G4, G7 which seem to just be different graphics that change each genration. there is a 'B' that means "ball grid array" (BGA rather than LGA). theres an "R" which seems to mean industrial use. theres an 'N' which I honestly have no clue but it is in some Xeon processors, theres a 'V' that I also have no clue but is in some Xeon processors, E has a 3rd meaning now since it can sometimes mean "embeded". I also saw 'L' which seems to be in between T and U. Theres a J that seems to mean the processor has an NX bit. why do they do this?
3:20 Me, having a Intel Core i5-4300M in my pc: Well actually...
Arastia Creations mine too. I have a i5 520m
0:34 There is a huge scratch on ur arm💪
Also , for laptop processors , M means the processor has PGA socket and U means the processor has BGA . Nowadays most of the laptops use BGA , so U is mostly seen on low to mid range laptops..
