Intel processor numbers (model numbers) of desktop CPUs

This page lists processor numbers of all desktop Intel microprocessors. If you want to identify a processor number and cannot find it on this page then please see processor numbers of mobile CPUs and server CPUspages, or use the tool on the right to identify the processor number.

Intel processor number (model number) represents processor's relative performance within the same processor family. The processor number depends on processor's speed, front bus speed, L2 cache size, architecture and other processor features. The processors with larger numbers within the same family and within the same range have greater performance than processors with smaller numbers. Processor numbers cannot be used to compare CPUs from different families, even if the numbers reside in the same range. For example, Core 2 Duo E7xxx CPUs cannot be compared to Xeon E7xxx processors using processor numbers. Also, the numbers in different ranges cannot be used for performance comparison, even if the numbers belong to the same family. For example, processor (model) numbers cannot be used to compare Core 2 Duo E4xxx and Core 2 Duo E6xxx microprocessors. Even for processors within the same family and the range, the numbers can only tell which processor is faster or slower, but they cannot be used to tell how much faster or slower the processor is.

Older Intel families, like Pentium 4 or Celeron D, used numerical processors numbers. The first digit in this number signified processor family, and remaining digits represented relative CPU performance. Newer processors families, starting from Core 2 Duo, in addition to a number also used one letter prefix that indicated processor's maximum power consumption:

E - from 50 to 74 Watt.
X - 75 Watt and higher.

With introduction of quad-core CPUs, this numbering scheme was modified by adding new prefixes and re-defining existing ones:

E - desktop dual-core CPU with TDP 55 Watt or higher.
Q - desktop quad-core processor.
X - desktop / mobile dual-core extreme-performance CPU.
QX - desktop / mobile quad-core extreme-performance CPU.

The latest generation of Intel Core ix-branded processors uses yet different processor numbers, that consist of "i3-", "i5-" or "i7-" prefix, and a number.

Along with various prefixes, Intel processor numbers make use of a few suffixes, that indicate specific processor features:

K - Unlocked clock multiplier.
P - Processor without integrated graphics controller.
S - Energy efficient version.
T - Low power version.
X - Extreme version. This suffix is used only on Core ix-branded CPUs.

The first digit, or the prefix letters and the first digit in the processor number, can be used to identify Intel processor family:

3xx - Celeron D
4xx - Celeron
5xx - Pentium 4
6xx - Pentium 4
8xx - Pentium D and Pentium Extreme Edition
9xx - Pentium D and Pentium Extreme Edition
E1xxx - Celeron Dual-Core
E2xxx - Pentium Dual-Core
E3x00 - Celeron Dual-Core
E4xxx - Core 2 Duo
E5x00 - Pentium Dual-Core
E6xxx - Core 2 Duo
E6x00 - Pentium Dual-Core
E7x00 - Core 2 Duo
E8xxx - Core 2 Duo
G6xxx - Pentium Dual-Core
i3-5xx - Core i3
i5-6xx - Core i5 (dual-core)
i5-7xx - Core i5 (quad-core)
i7-8xx - Core i7
i7-9xx - Core i7 and Core i7 Extreme Edition
Q6xxx - Core 2 Quad
Q8xxx - Core 2 Quad
Q9xxx - Core 2 Quad
QX6xxx - Core 2 Extreme
QX9xxx - Core 2 Extreme
X6xxx - Core 2 Extreme

Intel processor numbers (model numbers) of server CPUs

This page lists processor numbers of all server Intel microprocessors. If you cannot find processor number on this page then please see processor numbers of desktop CPUs and mobile CPUs pages, or use the tool on the right to identify the processor number.

Intel processor number represents relative performance of a microprocessor within the same processor family. The processor number depends on the core and FSB frequencies, cache sizes, microarchitecture and other processor features. The processors with larger numbers within the same family and within the same range have greater performance than processors with smaller numbers. Processor numbers cannot be used to compare CPUs from different families, even if the numbers reside in the same range. For example, Core 2 Duo E7xxx CPUs cannot be compared to Xeon E7xxx processors using processor numbers. Also, the numbers in different ranges cannot be used to compare CPU performance, even if the numbers belong to the same family. For example, Core 2 Duo E4xxx and E6xxx model numbers can't be compared because they belong to different ranges. Even for processors within the same family and range, the numbers can only tell which processor is faster or slower, but they don't tell how much faster or slower the processor is.

Older Intel server CPUs had numerical processor numbers. The first digit in this number signified scalability:

3xxx - 1-way
5xxx - 2-way
7xxx - 4-way or more

The second digit in the number identified CPU generation, and the last two digits represented relative processor performance. Eventually Intel added a prefix letter, that indicated power requirements:

E - mainstream CPUs with standard TDP.
L - low-power CPUs.
W - workstation-class microprocessors.
X - high-performance models with 75 Watt and higher.

The latest generation of Intel Xeon microprocessors uses different naming convention. New processor numbers have "E3-", "E5-" or "E7-" prefix, a 4-digit number, and an optional suffix. The prefix signifies server market segment:

E3-xxxx - microprocessors for workstations
E5-xxxx - CPUs for mid-class servers or high-performance workstations
E7-xxxx - processors for enterprise computing

The first digit in the 4-digit number is a CPU scalability. The second digit specifies microprocessor socket, and the last two digits vary depending on processor performance. The suffix can be "L" for low-power products, and "W" for workstation-only products.

The first digit in the processor number, or the prefix letters and the first digit, can be used to identify the family and some of the features of the CPU:

14xx - Pentium Dual-Core, 1-way processing
3xxx - Xeon
5xxx - Xeon
7xxx - Xeon
9xxx - Itanium 2
E31xx - Xeon
E5xxx - Quad-core Xeon
E7xxx - Xeon MP
L3xxx - Low-power Xeon (uni-processing)
L5xxx - Low-power Xeon (dual-processing)
L7xxx - Low-power Xeon (multi-processing)
QX9xxx - Xeon
Wxxxx - Xeon
X3xxx - Xeon
X5xxx - Xeon
X7xxx - Xeon

Intel processor numbers (model numbers) of mobile CPUs

This page lists processor numbers of all mobile Intel microprocessors. If you cannot find Intel processor number on this page then please see processor numbers of desktop CPUs and server CPUs pages, or use the "Identify Part" tool in the top right corner of the page to identify the processor number.

Intel processor number (model number) represents processor's relative performance within the same processor family. The processor number depends on processor's speed, front bus speed, L2 cache size, architecture and other processor features. The processors with larger numbers within the same family and within the same range have greater performance than processors with smaller numbers. Processor numbers cannot be used to compare CPUs from different families, even if the numbers reside in the same range. For example, Celeron M 5xx CPUs cannot be compared to mobile Pentium 4-M 5xx processors using processor numbers. Also, the numbers in different ranges cannot be used for performance comparison, even if the numbers belong to the same family. For example, processor (model) numbers cannot be used to compare Celeron M 3xx and Celeron M 4xx microprocessors. Even for processors within the same family and the range, the numbers can only tell which processor is faster or slower, but they cannot be used to tell how much faster or slower the processor is.

First Intel processor numbers, used for Celeron M and Pentium microprocessors, were numeric ones. The first digit in these numbers signified processor family, and remaining digits represented relative CPU performance. To distinguish two processors with identical performance, but different features, Intel began to append one-letter suffix to the number. With introduction of Core Solo and Core Duo families, all new processor numbers included one-letter prefix, that indicated maximum Thermal Design Power:

T - from 25 to 49 Watt.
L - from 15 to 24 Watt.
U - less than 15 Watt.

Later this numbering scheme was modified to add more prefixes, and to re-define the meaning of existing ones:

L - mobile low-power processor with TDP in the range of 12 - 19 Watt.
P - mobile power-optimized processor with TDP in the range of 20 - 29 Watt.
Q - desktop / mobile quad-core processor.
QX - desktop / mobile quad-core CPU with extreme performance.
S - mobile processor in small form-factor package.
T - mobile microprocessor with TDP in the range of 30 - 39 Watt.
U - mobile ultra low-power CPU with TDP less than 12 Watt.
X - desktop / mobile dual-core extreme-performance CPU.

Processor numbers were changed once again when Intel released mobile Core i7 CPU family. The new numbers included "i3-", "i5-" or "i7-" prefix, and a number followed by one or more suffix letters. The suffix was used to signify microprocessor type, mobile or embedded, as well as to highlight certain CPU features. Below is a list of suffixes used in the Core ix and earlier CPUs:
