About Intel Core Processor Information

What is the Intel family of processors?

A microprocessor family or a CPU family (also microcontroller family) is a group of microprocessors, microcontrollers, or component chips that make up one, developed by a specific manufacturer that share the same general architecture and feature set. Intel processors are the most popular CPUs for desktops and laptops in the world. They’re offered in a range of model families, with names like Core, Xeon, Pentium, and Celeron. They come in multiple generations like 9th, 10th, and 11th, also called Coffee Lake, Comet/Ice Lake, and Rocket/Tiger Lake.

Types of Processors

1. General Purpose Processor (GPP) Microprocessor. Microcontroller.
2. Application Specific System Processor (ASSP)
3. Application Specific Instruction Processors (ASIPs)
4. GPP core(s) or ASIP core(s) on either an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) or a Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) circuit.

Type of Intel Processors for make IT Products:

1. IntelXeon® Scalable Processors – Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor family delivers unparalleled scale and performance for compute, storage, network, security.
   Xeon
2. Intel Xeon® Processors -Built for data centers and workstations to handle the heavy processing demands of cloud, big data, modeling, AI, and more.
