How is dropping the i simplifying the branding 😂 From Intel Core i7 to Intel Core 7. And Intel Core Ultra 9…

The end of an era, I myself have almost only known this branding!

Congrats you have made me feel old. Oddly enough the Core naming scheme is older than the i3 i5 i7 naming scheme. I remember getting a Core 2 Duo and being stoked to have more than one core.

Their new M chips go from M2, to M2 Ultra, and M2 Max.

Mx is the base.
Mx Pro and Mx Max are mid to mid-high.
Mx Ultra is the highest spec.

Still don't know how Max is lower than Ultra. Guess it just sounds more biggerer.

M2 "Max" from the company who make "Macs". Ya, no confusion there.
