"Intel's Latest CPU Releases Further Complicate Branding and Performance Choices"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Ars Technica
Intel has announced a range of 14th-generation Core desktop CPUs and new high-end gaming and workstation laptop CPUs, as well as non-Ultra chips with the new "Core 3/5/7" branding. However, the new naming system has made it more confusing, as some chips are labeled as 14th-gen Core while others are labeled as Core (Series 1) but are essentially the same. The new Series 1 Core chips are based on a clock speed bump of Raptor Lake, similar to the 13th-gen U-series processors, leading to confusion and frustration among consumers.
