I'm really glad they switched to this 'less-confusing' name system than the old confusing i3,i5,i7,i9 system.

- wtallis 3y agoIt's not less confusing in any way. "Core Ultra 9", "Core Ultra 7", etc. is no better than "Core i9", "Core i7", etc. And that's not even taking into account the not yet launched "Core 7", "Core 5", etc. They did simplify the nomenclature slightly by unifying the H series and P series mobile product families (which were the same silicon at different power levels), but now you have to read the fine print for each laptop to know whether it's targeting the 64W or 115W maximum CPU turbo limit. A "Core Ultra 7 155H" is a drastically different and more powerful processor than a "Core Ultra 7 155U".
