The G processor was not clear can U explain it by just replying here in the comments
I wonder if there’s a UYKE CPU out there. Or maybe YKUE, UKEY, etc. Or a UEYK.
I’m not sure why anyone would want to "overclock" during gameplay, you’ll just risk over-heating your CPU and Graphic’s Card until they’re both damaged and no longer usable.
K for Kek
Guys which one is for best performence tho:(
Wher îs s
QM SOOBS IN THE BACKGROUND
Pentium
Thats fucking stupid letters 😡😡
Pro Tip: go with the K all the time
What is best K or KF?
You forgot F and KF and HF lol
Where’s F?
And I thought IUPAC naming was difficult
but what about M HQ and another intel processors
Anyone know what the “SROT8” or “SROWY” or “SROxx” means on the cpu?
Yeaaaaaah i’ll just stick with amd
3:49 heyyy that one in in my pc! 💩
So basically I just wanted to know the history of them LAKES. Now it is lake X H K E F U Y.
At least it’s not as bad as the USB protocol 🤣🤣🤣
what about S?
what does F mean?
How about the i7 920
4:09 wow is aged really badly
F ? MENING ?
What about no letter?
Was here
The F stands for "Fuck intel"
Bro I wanna say I have a I7 3520M lol
Dude just google “what does the cpu name mean” and read a 1 min website.
The reason Techquiche does this is to waste your time and get money from views.
Have i ever seen a crowd of people wasting time?
They never explained xeons.
F = No integrated gpu
You look like the mom from freaky Friday, Jaime Lee Curtis.
Your left elbow has bruising….
y dint e mension F
this guy references Linus tech tips a lot, I wonder if he works for them
Amd non-competitor?? Okay. Now Amd is going to dominate like never before.
You didn’t mention F as in Intel Core i5-10400F so you get an F as in FAIL!
i have an i7-1165g7, what does the g mean?
R u linus ????
m was used in non xeon cpus too, i had an Intel core i3-380M
So F and P mean no integrated graphics? Is P just an older suffix?
which cpu would serve best for a gaming setup tho?
0:48 The example CPU, Intel Core i7 7500u, is the CPU in my laptop but it is the previous generation.
u dint say F
Hey linus u forget the letter F
This is what I needed
No, U does not stand for unhackable. Nor does anything else.
Everything is hackable.
How about pentium G2030
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
