Intel says the rebranding “better aligns to customer requests” to simplify its processor names
But it doesn't simplify the processor name!? Instead of i5, we now have to say "core 5" or "intel core 5".

“intel core 9 ultra” sounds like something apple would name
replies:
Yeah, removing one character isn't gonna simplify things if we're taking on more stuff at the end.

Drug dealer character Stringer Bell in 'The Wire' had a good scene where he talked about the business strategy of repackaging and renaming something when you are unable to raise the quality of a product. Just rename it and customers think it's better.

So what's faster? A Core 7 or a Core Ultra 5?
replies:
Intel marketing seems to be going all in on using generic names to trick people into buying lower end parts. They changed the marketing of Celeron/Pentium to the most generic "Intel processor" line up. Now when you specify to make sure you buy an "ultra" chip it's easy for the layman to buy the lowest end chip out of ignorance.
Man, I guess I'm at least middle age now. I remember thinking my first custom build's processor was definitely gonna have to be one of these brand new badass i7s.

Nice, Intensive Care Unit 5, I cannot wait.
So they remove the i, but add 'Ultra' for high performance CPUs. 🤦🏻♂️
My computer has an Intel i7 930 (pre 2010) and a 3xxx series Nvidia GPU, ask me anything.
I get about 20 FPS in Elden Ring. I can run Stable Diffusion fine though.
