The “i” naming scheme is already simple enough and this is what we’ve been used to ever since the first iteration of these CPU’s. Kinda stupid to change it now.
Looks like they want to emphasize the ultra as it is the top of the line variant and the core is the entry level variant. Not everyone is techie people maybe for some people they cant differentiate it in "i". Maybe that is the case
@@reaperstrife3774o they’re pretty much phasing out the traditional Intel Core i-series processors like how Pentium’s used to be top of the line before being as bottom barrel as the Celerons that used to be built after them
If you work in an industry where you need to keep track of different CPUs that is actually quite important to see the difference between Atom, Core, Xeon, Pentium, Celeron, Xeon Phi, Itanium, Quark and some other ones. For the consumer pretty much non important but keeps the stackup someone sorted
And after this people will be confused between model name and no. of cores in the processor, like Core i9 sounds like a model name but Core 9 will sound like that the processor has 9 cores
i3,i5,i7, (and now) i9 has been such a simple designation and adding the generation number made sense, with something like 13900K being clearly 13th gen, 9 level, 0 iteration. I think Intel is trying to kiddie things so it’s less clear which is better than the other and adding core and other words is actually lengthy.
You are missing the point, renaming wasnt to drop the 'i' it was so they can sell better binned 'X' processors like AMD does, but they think 'ultra' sounds cool 😂
it's the big problem of our day and age. employees at IT companies need to justify their salary by finding new "innovations". Some of these innovations consists in messing up with things that were working great for everybody.
I personally strongly dislike the intel cpus because they’re confusing and not beginner friendly. During all my research, no site has simply told me the large number beginning denotes the generation until a randomly commenter in this section said something. It is not intuitive

@@amogoose2971 Those are getting discontinued actually, no more Pentium or Celerons. Albeit they're getting replaced later for another series of very cheap CPUs that haven't been named yet. Still it is fairly simple: You can differentiate by the gaps in the name. Just like with these names from the video. You have one named ultra and the other has a gap where you would expect to say ultra, meaning it's a non-ultra CPU. You don't need another label, like "mainstream" to realize it's not an ultra. Also the Celerons and Pentiums would still say Pentiums and Celerons with no single digit 3 5 7 or 9, if they still existed.
I prefer the old one in many ways, and i like it when companies like lenovo put "i" in their laptop model to imply that the laptop is using an intel cpu.
I have a dozen machines in my vintage/retro collection that used the 80xxx CPU naming convention. 8088, 80386, '486, and '586 (aka, Pentium). I've never had a 286 though.
Instead of core 9 and stuff like that, they could keep most of the old naming scheme but change out i for u and c, for ultra and core. For example: intel u9 14-900k or intel c3 12100F. I would love to hear other opinions on this, as I think the old way was over complicated and the new way sounds bad, I think this idea is a good middle ground.
Well, things change; surprised they went with the "i", followed by the processor as long as they did; processor names (2, 3, or 4)86 only went from 1985-1993, then changed to Pentium, with the last big one coming out 7 years later as Pentium 4, then Core Duo, but the i(3, 5, 7, lately 9) went on for over 15 years, going back to '07, which is the longest I've seen a processor keep an old name.
Well, they changed to Pentium because they couldn’t trademark a number (586), the Pentium 4 garnered quite a bad reputation, so it made sense to change to Core, and the “i” more clearly delineates the different tiers. I don’t see a reason to drop the “i” when it’s been so successful.
@@GRBtutorials It is true that Pentium 4 processors were all over the place when they were popular, and it looks like Intel found the lineage they're sticking with. I do find the i-7 label to be a lot more accurate, even for older PC's than Pentium 4's that was all over the place. Enjoying the i-9 in my laptop so far, speaking of which!
@@rsgxyt if you know how the naming schemes work, then you really don't need it. 100-300 is i3 400-600 is i5 700-800 is i7 900 is i9 With of course all the numbers after the distinguisher, but those are just refreshes of the original
I don’t think it’s that good. I think it’s more of a lazy attempt at minimalism and makes it just sound wrong to say. Saying “Core 9” makes it sound like it has 9 cores whereas just saying “core i9” shows that it’s a 9-grade intel cpu
I have always called their CPU's by the last part anyway (example I would call the i7 6700k just the 6700k or a i7 12700k just the 12700k so makes no difference for me. The numbers is all you need anyway. They give all the info you need.
Its actually a good idea, a lot of scammers in online shop have all caps "GAMING PC I7" But its just I7 3rd gen or even the 1st gen even 😂. Those poor kids getting scammed.
And? Now they'll just write like intel core 7, and if they write like intel core 7 2600 hidden in the description they wouldn't really be selling a scam since they list specifically which component but loads of people wouldn't care about it and miss it
They basically haven’t changed anything then… It would’ve been called the core i9 14900k before, now it’s called the core 9 14900k. Really makes it a whole lot better huh…
I think there's nothing wrong with the naming scheme the i3, 5, 7, 9 denote the classification tier, the 14 in 14700 denotes the generation of processor and the "k" denotes the special model that it is it's really not that hard to understand if anyone thinks it's confusing.
