K = unlocked multiplier
H = high performance graphics
Q = quad core
U = ultra low power
Y = extremely low power
E = ECC memory
M = mobile
T = low power, but still LGA
P = no integrated graphics
G = RX Vega graphics
*broadwell only (5xxx):*
R = high-end mobile, similar to H (but soldered on?)
C = unlocked = K
*as of x299/skylake-x:*
X = HEDT platform
_also note_ : i9-7980XE is not X+E, it just means "xtreme edition"

What about S?
Tldw... That's a new one for me
Judas Mugensson S chips are also low power, but not as low-power as T (which also means Tray, as in those chips are unavailable in retail to consumers)

Not if you have a discreet (separate card) GPU

@@tx3_roby639 I am hoping that was a joke. No. Of course they won't.
I love how "Y" refers to extremely low power. It's like Intel is asking, "but y tho?"
low power is “U”
@@rohin4429 That's correct, but I wonder if you watched the video all the way through. "U" stands for low power, while "Y" stands for extremely low power. So while you're correct, there's also nothing wrong with what I typed.
@@xplinux22 Yeah actually I didnt see the "y" part. Sorry!

G: that moment when rivals work together to make a fantastic processor
4:33 The Broadwell C/R chips are actually quite special (and honestly deserved for attention than they got). The C-chips (i5-5675C and i7-5775C) were the only socketed chips with Crystalwell (embedded L4 cache/VRAM for a respectable iGPU) and were also unlocked. The R-chips were the BGA variants of the same. The iGPU of those chips (Iris Pro) rivaled a GTX 750, IIRC.
You missed S
Yeah, totally!
"Performance-optimized lifestyle".
S stands for..
Slow! lol
Maze I think Special. The only S I’ve seen is in the iMac
I absolutely love the way this guy throws around hand/arm motions. They say 90% of communication is body language, this guy kicks that up to 99.9%.

Intel + AMD = ???????
Yes. Contrary to what the fanboys think, what megacorporations actually care about is profit, and they will even work together if that leads to increasing it.
Intel graphics ? High performance graphics ? Error 404, performance graphics not found.
Delirious Mako that's only because I disable those Graphics so that I could overclock my chip better
Psshhhhh noooo my intel hd 4000 runs battlefield 5 ultra settings rtx on 67 FPS
@@Bob_Smith come on we know you are lying it's obviously 240fps at 8k on ultra settings
@HYPER FOX ignorance at its finest it can obviously play with full ray tracing at 1000fps at 32k resolution
They forgot one "S" denotes "performance optimised lifestyle" which may relate to the addition of embedded options being available vs not being on the standard chips. Also generally these chips have a lower base clock but have the same boost clock as their normal chip counterparts.
2:32 THIS IS WHAT MY PARENTS QUESTION EVERY DAY
My fellow indian also watches linus
k: overclocking enabled
H: high power and performance, optimized for mobile
U: low power, for mobile
Y: ultra low power (usually for laptops) (but y tho), not recommended for gaming
E: Embedded
T: low power for desktops, usually in all in one pcs
P: less powerful integrated graphics, its cheaper and meant for people who only use their igpu for troubleshooting
F: no integrated graphics
G: Amd's rx vega graphics built in, branded as radeon technologies group
X: means extreme series, also unlocked (x for xpensive?)
*Special* *letters* *for* *Broadwell:*
R: fits in BGA sockets
C: same as K
edits:
M: mobile (QM is quad core mobile)
Q: quad core
S: special edition
also you can have quad core without Q, even alot of U series cpus have 4core now
usually letters can be mixed together and mean both of the two things, (with the one exception of XE, which means higher core count variant of the cpu)
Which means all the Intel processor has build in graphics ?? But only the F series does have igpu?
@@successpro9424 yeah all chips not from F series has integrated graphics, people dont talk about it bcoz integrated graphics usually arent very good and many laptops and such just have a seperate better dedicated gpu in them
Mine was I7-7700HQ. What does that mean? Is it high and have quad core?
I don't catch up what Linus said
@@akmalferdiansyah1137 H stands for high performance and q stands for quadcore so it isn't bad or anything
@@akmalferdiansyah1137 HQ is similar to H, except its 4cores

Thank you Linus for making these videos! It's been more than one and a half decade since I had a desktop, and wathcing your videos in the past few years, along with Luke's, Jay's, Paul's and Dmitri's is what gave me the knowledge and motivation to finally build one completely on my own. I just ordered the parts yesterday and can't wait to start.
Keep doing what you're doing!
Greetings from Hungary!
TT
Good luck!
So, how did it go?
I love these short little videos from him
Thank you for the information the link you gave really helped
I have that iFixit kit and I’ve used it nearly every day at work since I bought it :)
By the way, very good rundown on the meaning of those letters! I’ll take those into consideration when I make my next purchase:)

Linus: While the newer 'G' CPU's...
*pauses video*
Me: Wait a second...
*clicks search and types 'dxdiag'*
I have been looking for this! Thank you.
Thank you so much for this explanation of part of their chip naming.
Intel Chip Naming is a Big Box of Tangled String
Intel has different Cores i3, i5, i7, i9, and Xeon.
Each one of those has at least 10 different versions of it.
They use a bunch of 5 digit numbers that are not always in order.
They have like 11 different "Architectures", roughly one per year.
Each Architecture has its own name.
All of the architectures either look similar or sound similar, like Lake, or Coffee, or Skylake, or Bridge, on and on.
There are like 11 "Generations".
There are varying number of Cores, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 etc
Some of the chips are for Desktop, some for Mobile, some are Embedded.
Each and every dimension that I've listed so far, can be intermixed, intermingled, intertwined with every other dimension I've listed so far.
Plus there's a lot of factors that I haven't mentioned.
Wikipedia has a ton of information, but it's like jumping into the ocean and trying to write down the names of all the fish you see.
Intel has a lot of lists on its website too.
I've copied dozens of files, I've created 5 subdirectories, ~30 files, and many many hyperlinks connecting those files together.
I have been working for 4 to 10 hours per session, for at least 3 sessions trying to figure all of this stuff out.
I think that Intel is intentionally trying obfuscate/confuse/befuddle the outsiders, so that they cannot make an intelligent decision, and instead just have to rely on the marketing hype.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS !!!!!!
They should name their Chips as follows: Year, Month, Day, # of Cores, Base Clock Speed, Architecture, Familiar name.
Then they should have an easy-to-access webpage where people can look up all of the detailed information about that chip from their website.
Examples (made-up):
Intel 2021.04.08, 8 Core, 3.8 MHz, Cypress Cove, Invigerator, or
Intel 2020.11.05, 6 Core, 3.4 MHz, Comet Lake, Leveller Upper, or
Intel 2017.06.23, 4 Core, 2.9 MHz, Kaby Lake, Monster Killer, or whatever
where can we see your work by the way?
2:27 vsauce music plays
Hahahaha if you guys don't understand why am i laughing my pp out is v sause always starts a video with saying something and then he says or is it
It's been exactly 1year since this came out

poor Linus.
need a band-aid for the scratch on your right arm?
Thanks for posting this video I found it very helpful. Is give me some clue of what to purchase in the future. :)
i needed this
didnt u forget 'S' ?
there are some intel with a S at the end for i think low power then the non S ?
like this one i5 3340s
It's like a bit improvement. It's not much.
Yea, he missed that one. My CPU is a S generation (i5 4440s) which its stock clock speed and tdp is lower than the 4440.
I believe S means "Special Edition" or something like that. It's basically a binned version of the non-s version (at least with the 9900ks)
But Linus, I've got one question for you, 0:50
WHAAAT ARE THOOOOOSE!!!
stop
2015 called
OOF
fuck you
Great video. Thank you!!
Had my volume up all the way without knowing, intro blasted my ears
C for cox
jangan ngegas lah ASW!!!
Just letter go.
T for thicc
SamB w for weed
C FOR CLITORIS
For more confusion, "E" has been very rarely used... plenty of Celerons and Pentiums (and Haswell and earlier i3s) support ECC memory as long as they're used with an appropriate motherboard chipset. And of course they don't stick "E" on the Xeon model numbers, ECC support there is a given.
My first time coming across this channel... I just love the guy's playful energy
Thanks for the information Linus.
every time i watch linus videos, i learn new stuff, thank you linus. :) god bless you.
I love the thumbnail. Perfect reaction image for when someone says something that is complete rubbish and want to be snarky about dismissing their opinion
Thank you for making this video, this helped me to see what laptop i'll buy:)
2:25 lol I have always thought that it means high quality until this video. By the way thanks for the explanation :)
I have never once thought HQ stood for "high quality".. for some reason it always made me think "Headquarters" tho...? lol
I always thought High Quality, but I just assumed it was marketing bullshit. Glad to see I wasn't totally wrong.
If you think of headquarter when you see HQ you should be an military enthusiast or veteran or, in the service

You need to have iFixit make a special LTT "I break it" edition kit. It would sell out.
Now I know my abc’s next time won’t you sing with me
What about S? Some Sandy bridge and Ivy Bridge CPUs have an S variant of their chips
S- Performance optimized Lifestyle. Might sound like optimizing your CPU for better Performance but actually, put a i5-2600 for example with a i5-2600S and the normal version gets higher score in benchmarks(PerformanceTest for example)
@@Delta69 i5 2600 dont exists

*"Speaking of latest updates... Tunnel Bear!"*
Hey can you please make a video about PCIe lanes? Mostly in intel since its so very confusing. For me at least an owner of 7700K their website says that I have 16 pcie lanes however my motherboard can offer more for like m.2 ssds and such, i have only understood this after a lot of research and in my opinion this should be a lot clearer to your average bob. so it could really help if you guys made a video about this.
This is what I needed
ah yes, except now F means no iGPU, There is now G1, G4, G7 which seem to just be different graphics that change each genration. there is a 'B' that means "ball grid array" (BGA rather than LGA). theres an "R" which seems to mean industrial use. theres an 'N' which I honestly have no clue but it is in some Xeon processors, theres a 'V' that I also have no clue but is in some Xeon processors, E has a 3rd meaning now since it can sometimes mean "embeded". I also saw 'L' which seems to be in between T and U. Theres a J that seems to mean the processor has an NX bit. why do they do this?
"Bigger numbers are usually better!"
Ping be like: ;)
My favorite part was when he said this feels like Sesame Street🤣
For me it was the "please subscribe" dance move at the very end.

0:34 even for my bmi? aww thanks
This video should be named learning alphabet with intel.
I literally had an ad with Linus in it before the video
Great video, man. I know this video has been years, but could you give me some recommendations abt a good & budget-friendly processor fit for mid range gaming and multitasking/editing at the same time? Say I have RTX 3060 or 2060
Intel cpu letters simplified:
U=worse than it seems for the generation
F=doesn't have integrated graphics
K=overclockable
M=mobile
S=slightly worse than the non s cpu (kinda like 8800 gt and 8800 gts)
That's all the ones I can remember
H is for higher power, HQ even higher power for laptops but discontinued with 8th gen, T is included in caseless desktops, rest idk

C = Iris Pro...
Scrolled way too far for this. But until a year ago, I was not even aware that an i7 5775C or an i5 5675C existed, since they were the first 14nm Generation from Intel clocking lower than first Ryzen non-X and many Skylake engineering samples. Lets say their ipc gain did not help much compared to a >4.8 GHz 4790k.
