News New Intel "Core Ultra 7" CPU Benchmark Spotted

[Admin]

A new PugetBench benchmark listing has surfaced showing off a Meteor Lake Intel CPU with "Core Ultra" branding.

New Intel "Core Ultra 7" CPU Benchmark Spotted : Read more

Will the name match the performance? I prefer the simple Core with out modifiers, but if there is a huge battery/power difference maybe warranted? I liked how they came back from the ugly Ice/Tiger lake naming (Adding a G1/G4/G7 graphic modifier).

You shouldn't need a decoder ring to understand what a product generation and performance class is. Less is more

 

[hotaru251]

did they just ditch the # for a word?

Yes, they just dropped the "i" letter for Ultra. This new naming/branding idea is super confusing for the end user though.

I think the upcoming chips will be divided into three major categories (just my prediction, so it doesn't make much sense for now):

1. Intel Core 3/5/7 (maybe they can divide this into pro/max variants ?)
2. Intel Core Ultra 3/5/7
3. Intel Core Extreme 3/5/7

So the low-end CPUs, like the non-K offerings, might be stacked into the base Core lineup/number 1. Non-K pro/max ? And then the Ultra chips will be designed for a more high-end audience and mainstream gamers, who want the best performance from their setups.

Lastly, the Extreme lineup, on the other hand, could be designed for overclockers/enthusiasts ? /end of prediction.

I'm holding out for the Core SuperUltraMegaExtremeDeluxe™!

Also, that was my idea, so if Intel uses it, I'm suing!

LOL

Instead of spending hundreds of millions of dollars on a marketing company to come up with a new naming idea this dumb, they could have just given the money to me. I'm really good at stupid ideas.... Just sayin'...

I keep hoping this stuff is either a fever dream or someone messing with naming in benchmarks because it makes no sense. Intel could use a streamline in naming just because of how they've shifted mobile naming, but this is not the way to do it.

I would love a return of the Extreme moniker, but maybe that's just wishful thinking.

They are just following Apple's naming convention (<no buz name>, pro, max, ultra), only with way more complication because it's Intel.

I think you're right about the mimicking Apple with the naming convention, and due to SKU count they don't have a choice but to make it complicated.

While desktop is typically pretty straightforward I've never quite grasped why they have such a problem with mobile naming. They've mostly got the right idea, but they need to pick either 4 digit or 5 digit as their choice and stick with it. I'd say they could identify number of P/E in the naming, but I have a feeling cores aren't going to be that simple going forward.

 

[railtrace]

Kind of reminds me of Core 2 Solo, Duo, Quad, and Extreme. Also kind of like Gigabyte, with Aorus Master, Elite, Extreme, Ultra...

 

[Elusive Ruse]

Is the new naming scheme, Intel's idea of competing with Apple's chips?

 

[plissandro]

Core Ultra 7 1003H and Core Ultra 5 1003H
Yes, not confusing enough 💁‍♂️

frankly the money could have been spent on making there socket life span longer !!
investing it R&D with 3d v cache !!
and Intel ARC gpu's

They already did that, intel cpu max.
