Loved this comment on the Ars article:
Hopefully this prevents confusion between the electric and internal combustion Intel CPUs.
Core: Doesn’t yet go to 11.
Where’s my Ultra 3?
They dropped the “i” but I’m going to hold out for Ultra Instinct
You’re processor will start glowing a silver hue and you’ll feel the heat in your seat.
LOL
s/i/Ultra/g

Ah yes, more brand cluttering and making it harder to tell what an 13G20H is
So what is it that differentiates the “ultra” processors, is it the new K line?
Other than a price hike?
Really? What kind of lake are they now? Oh, meteor lake.
Remind me when they are at “toxic waste lake” or “out of lakes, sorry”
New Intel codename: Cornf lake
This is just as confusing as trying to figure out what graphics card to get for a computer. With all the brands using different naming and number conventions, it’s hard to understand.
Yeah, when the Wikipedia page for the Radeon RX 7000 includes this warning:
Not to be confused with the Radeon HD 7000 series, an earlier series of GPUs developed by AMD.
You know things have gotten a bit out of hand with respect to AMD’s GPU naming conventions.
If I had to guess, the “Ultra” chips will be desktop-class chips and just “Intel Core” will be mobile-class chips
Have not used an intel CPU since 4th gen. That was the last gaming PC I built and then my work got me started using macs. I don’t know if I could go back from the efficiency of the apple M line chips in a laptop form factor. I think it’ll be interesting to see if the rebrand does anything meaningful in the fight between their Core series and AMDs ryzen🤷🏻♂️
I’m not an apple fan at all, but switched to a pro book for the M2s. The difference in power and battery life is just on a whole other level from everything else out there.
The main issue is actually Windows and it’s awful standby behavior. It’s a known issue but nobody knows if it’ll ever get fixed.
Oh boy can’t wait for my Intel™ Core 7 Ultra Pro Max
Intel® Core™ 7 Ultra Pro Max 14700KF
