Intel® Processor Numbers


Make informed decisions
Once you have decided on the processor brand family that is right for you, Intel processor numbers allow you to quickly differentiate among processors within that product brand family. The numbers are based on a variety of features that may include the processor's underlying architecture, cache, Front Side Bus, clock speed, power and other Intel technologies.
A processor number:
Represents a broad set of features that can influence overall computing experience
Differentiates the relative features within a processor brand family (e.g. within the Intel® Core™2 processor family or within the Intel® Xeon® processor family)
The processor number is not a measurement of performance
Is one of several factors, along with processor brand, specific system configurations and system-level benchmarks, to be considered when choosing the right processor for you.
