Intel CPUs are Changing Forever 😱

The 14 in 14700k literally denotes the generation

For what I'm concerned "i" was more of a brand than Core was. If I had to simplify, Core is what I would remove.

[crim.]

companies try not to make your brand worse for absolutely 0 reason challenge

[aadityalikesmiatas]

The 'i' in Intel chips was kinda their trademark

[nicholaskawam]

As someone who works in retail selling computers, I promise you this is going to confuse more customers than not.

[blackmagick]

I like the i9 name. That way you know its intel

[Guilherme_O.C.]

As with Ryzen, I call R3, R5, R7 and R9. I will continue using i3, i5, i7 and i9 for Intel.

dont you love it when company does a rebranding to something that doesnt need rebranding

[zeinmoussa]

Now people might mistake a CPU as having 7 cores, 9 cores, etc

[AverageCake]

“yo guys today well be reviewing the 7 processor”

[nileredsexperiment]

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.

[surfacner]

They want to simplify but they'll make it even more confusing

[itsduckietime]

The “i” in i9-14900k sounds cooler tbh. They don’t need to change it.

[walterthemathcooker]

"Ultra" is just the "Extreme" lineup but on steroids

[Sam-jbgk]

I’ve never heard of a tech person saying “I have an Intel core i9 13th gen 13900kf” literally all you have to say is 13900kf and it gives you the information that it is 1. an intel processor, 2. a 13th gen, 3. the 900 sku, which is the high end range, 4. unlocked, 5. No integrated graphics. What else do you need to know?

[UnrealEN]

saying i before the cpu for intel cpus is very iconic tbh

[memphisartguy]

Ain't gonna change the fact we'll all be using Arms in 10 years.

[AlexLitaOfficial]

Intel in 2050: Intel C3, C5, C7, C9, C11

[anotheryuando_lol]

nobody would stop me, ill still put i in every cpu.

This is probably a result of months, maybe years of meetings, in multiple locations.
