- Intel is changing the branding structure of its processors.
- This name change will affect both its mainstream and advanced chip lines.
- Intel’s Evo-certified and professional systems are also getting a rebrand.
Between the various tiers, the Intel Core chip names can be a bit confusing to some. But Intel is about to make a change that should help make its branding a little clearer to the average consumer.
Back in 2006, Intel introduced the world to its Intel Core processors with the Intel Core 2 Duo. Eventually, this branding split into multiple tiers, which included the i3, i5, i7, and i9. Intel even started to release a more advanced version of these chips in 2010 with the creation of the X-series.
