It seems that the name change that will come with the next Intel Meteor Lake has created confusion regarding processors that do not belong to this range, although they will go to be part of Intel’s 14th Gen. According to the image that Intel has left in its BiliBili’s account in China, it has clarified that it will use its new names Core for the updated Raptor Lake-U and Core Ultra for the new Meteor Lake as announced.
but also also will retain previous Intel Core i9/i7/i5/i3 for the updated Raptor Lake desktops and laptops that will become part of the 14 Gen.
In an elongated image Intel has answered 10 questions that confirm this change by name, so we will have:
- Intel Core Ultra for the new Meteor Lake for laptops.
- Intel Core for the refreshed Raptor Lake-U for laptops.
- Intel Core i3/i5/i7/i9 for desktop Raptor Lake Refresh.
- Intel Core i3/i5/i7/i9 for the updated Raptor Lake HX for laptops.
Thus Intel will be able to offer, under its Ultra tagline, the processors more modern in this 14 Gen, which will finally be formed by various architectures. This is something that we have already seen in AMD and that is also related to the way of naming their processors using Zen 3 and up to Zen 2 coresin addition to the Zen 4, in their processors Ryzen 7000 for laptops.

I am a Computer Engineer and my specialty is automation and robotics. My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and a 210MB hard drive. I continue to give free rein to my passion in the technical articles that I write at Geeknetic. I spend most of my free time playing video games, contemporary and retro, on the 20+ consoles I own, in addition to the PC.
