The Intel® Core™ Processor Family
To clear away the confusion of evaluating and comparing different processor brands, we are consolidating most of our processors under a single umbrella: the Intel® Core™ Processor family.
Three defined processor levels – Intel® Core™ i7 processor, Intel® Core™ i5 processor and Intel® Core™ i3 processor – quickly communicate where a processor fits along the product spectrum. You will still have plenty of choices, but it will be simpler to determine which is the right one for you.
This effort will evolve over time, with the overall effort to reduce the number of brands taking place over the next year. Desktops powered by the
Intel Core i7 processor are already being offered. Intel Core i5 and Intel Core i3 processors will launch in the coming months. Other older brands will still be in the market but will phase out over time.
This new Intel® Core™ processor family is part of our broader offering to the PC market which also includes Intel® Pentium® and Intel® Celeron® processors. Watch for new products to be added to each of these lines in the future.
