help! intel numbers, I'm confused

[JarJarBanter]

if possible could you simplify it and lay it out like this?

example:

 

i5={BLANK}

4=generation?

690={BLANK}

K=overclock?

690={BLANK}

Ok it goes, Celeron, Pentium, i3 Dual core, i5 Quad core, i7 Quad core with Hyperthreading

 

The K means its an unlocked chip for overclocking

 

the numbers done the processor, the first number is the generation, the rest of the numbers are the model, higher numbers perform better

[yannickverc]

i3= 2cores with 4 threads. i5=4 cores no HT. i7=4 cores with 8 threads. (Or 6/12 8/16 10/20 for the real high end models)

4 = indeed generation.

690= No clue myself.

K= unocked. Meaning you can overclock it.

what does the i5 stand for? series?

the first number i understand is generation

the last numbers are the model numbers?

i5-blablabla no "K"

Not unlocked, can't be overclocked unless using base clock.

i5-blablabla with "K"

It's unlocked, can be overclocked.

 

i5-4690, the first number "4" is the gen, so it's fourth gen.

i5-3550, it's 3rd gen.

i5-760, 3 digit, it's 1st gen.

 

GTX-blablabla

R9-blablabla

No K can still be overclocked.

Stands for notihng, just like a 5 series BMW doesn't mean anything, just means its bigger than the 3 Series

 

Yes the last numbers are the model like a BMW 520, BMW 530 - the 5 is the series, the 30 is the engine size etc

 

Same for intel i3 i5 i7 are the models, the first number is the generation, ie haswell, skylake, and the last numbers are the model

Ok thank you for the help and for the GTX and R9 ,what do they stand for while you have included it?

GTX is Nvidia's line of gaming graphics cards, with the first number being series and the second being how good it is. Ti is added to the end of some cards to indicate extra power. AMD have R5, R7 and R9. R5 is just accelerating display performance, R7 is budget gamer and R9 is gamer. The first number after ther R5, R7 or R9 is series and the number after indicates power. The X after some cards indicates more power c:

Intel actually has a guide for this

i5=CPU model (i3, i5, i7)

4=Generation

6=CPU model (X1XX=i3, X4XX, X5XX or X6XX=i5, X7XX= i7 (LGA115X), X8XX = i7 (LGA 2011), X9XX= i7 (Extreme edition LGA 2011)

9=CPU sub-class 

0=NUL

K=overclockable

690={BLANK}

i5(CPU CLASS)

x = Generation) 

xx0 = (Model number)

 

i5-xxx0

 

As for nomenclature ending of that. Well

S = High efficiency and high performance. K = unlocked and overclockable. T = low power and medium performance, X = Extreme Edition $999 Intel CPU.
