Here’s a table summarizing the various suffixes used in Intel processor
Suffix | Meaning |
---|---|
C | Used for processors with a higher number of cores optimized for high-performance desktop and workstation applications. |
E | Represents the Xeon series processors, designed for server and enterprise applications with features like higher core counts, larger caches, and support for ECC memory. |
F | Indicates processors without integrated graphics, typically used for dedicated graphics cards or in scenarios where a discrete GPU is being used. |
H | Denotes high-performance mobile processors, often found in gaming laptops or high-end mobile workstations. They have higher power and thermal limits compared to regular mobile processors. |
K | Indicates processors that are unlocked and can be overclocked to achieve higher clock speeds. Popular among enthusiasts and gamers who want to push the performance limits. |
S | Represents processors with a lower power and thermal design, often used in small form factor desktops or embedded systems. |
T | Denotes power-optimized processors with lower base frequencies and reduced power consumption. Commonly found in ultrabooks, all-in-one PCs, or other low-power devices. |
U | Used for ultra-low power processors, typically found in tablets, 2-in-1 laptops, or other devices where power efficiency is crucial. |
X | Represents the Extreme Edition processors, designed for enthusiasts and professionals who require the highest levels of performance. They typically have more cores, larger caches, and higher clock speeds. |
Y | Denotes extremely low power processors designed for fanless, ultra-thin devices such as tablets and convertible laptops. These processors prioritize energy efficiency over raw performance. |
