For the following CPUs
  • Procesador Intel Core i5-10400, 2.90 GHz, 12 MB Caché L3, LGA1200, 65W, 14 nm.
  • Procesador Intel Core i7-10700, 2.90 GHz, 16 MB Caché L3, LGA1200, 65W, 14 nm.
  • Procesador Intel Core i5-11400 2.60 / 4.40 GHz, 12 MB Caché L3, LGA1200, 65W, 14 nm.
  • Procesador Intel Core i7-11700 2.50 / 4.90 GHz, 16 MB Caché L3, LGA1200, 65W, 14 nm.

Taking how example only 2 of them

1. Is the number after of Core i# the generation?

So for Core i5-10400 the generation is 10 and for Core i7-11700 the generation is11? Am I correct?

2. What do 10400 and 11700 mean for each one?

If 2.90 GHz means the speed of the CPU

3. What does 2.50 / 4.90 GHz mean? - What does the range mean? Why a range?

4. How I can know through the code how many cores has the processor?

Thank You.

Yes

2. What do 10400 and 11700 mean for each one?
It's a SKU number. It's just something to further identify a product.

3. What does 2.50 / 4.90 GHz mean? - What does the range mean? Why a range?
Intel advertises two frequencies, a base frequency which is what they guarantee the processor will run at as long as it's not exceeding thermal limits and a maximum turbo frequency, which is the fastest the processor will run at, usually with a 1-2 core workload.

Plug each cpu into google and you will see something like this.

That should answer most questions.

4. How I can know through the code how many cores has the processor?
You can't. However Intel has been fairly consistent on how many cores are in each Core i# for each market segment (e.g., Servers, desktops, laptops, and ultrabooks)
