Those are release names, like Sierra and Mojave for MacOS. Different. There, you can sort of go nuts. The product name is still, well, "processor".

- adhesive_wombat 4y agoEven their product range names are "cool" (or at least carefully chosen by marketing to sound technological), like "Xeon" and "Itanium". Probably hard to get street cred for a cutting-edge processing monster named FluffyKitten.
- 0x457 4y agoProduct family is Core iX, Xeon, Atom, Pentium X etc. Intel® Core™ i9-9900K Processor is a product name. Lucky you generally only care about release names within a single product because thinking which one is Jasper Lake and which one is Alder Lake is not something I want to do. Even those product names are not excellent either: Intel introduced i9 which is essentially what i7 used to be and used to justify higher price - look i7 is the same price, but it's the brand new i9, that is totally wouldn't be called i7 5 years ago, that cost more.
