Intel official confirmation:"X-generation Core" is over! No more 15th generation CPU processors

Many players have been confused about Intel's brand change this time, as it is currently in a transitional stage.

In the latest QA interpretation, Intel has confirmed that Raptor Lake Refresh will be the last generation of products to use the "X-generation Core" naming method. There will be no more claims of Core i9, Core i7, Core i5, or Core i3 in the future, and naturally there will be no 15 generations.

Starting from Meteor Lake, Intel processors will all use two naming systems:"Core Ultra" and "Core". The former is used for the latest high-end and mainstream products, while the latter is an entry-level product, basically the previous Pentium and Celeron.

The first generation Core Ultra is aimed at mainstream and slim laptops, and is divided into three sub series from high to low: Core Ultra 9, Core Ultra 7, and Core Ultra 5. At least there is currently no Core Ultra 3 available.

Next year's Arrow Lake is expected to be named the second-generation Core Ultra, followed by Lunar Lake, Panther Lake, and Nova Lake.

The first generation of Core is the Raptor Lake Refresh U series low-power version, which includes three levels: Core 7, Core 5, and Core 3, without Core 9.

Of course, the 14th generation Core i series has not yet been released, and there will be additional HX series for high-end game books and S series for mainstream and entry-level desktops in the future.

Tips:The X-generation Core actually started from the second generation, and there was no mention of the X-generation when the previous processors were released. Instead, after the arrival of the second generation, all previous processors were classified as the first generation.
