CPU Naming

The general naming scheme that AMD and Intel use.

AMD CPU Naming

1. AMD CPU NAMING SUFFIXES
   1. MOBILE

U = Ultra Low power; used by thin & light laptops H = High performance; used by gaming laptops & workstations HX = same as above but with higher TDP & higher clocks overall HS = same as above but power limited to 35w

1. 1. DESKTOP

G = Includes integrated GPU X = higher TDP and higher clocks overall

Intel CPU Naming

1. Intel CPU NAMING SUFFIXES
   1. MOBILE

U = Ultra low power; used by average consumer laptops G = same as above but with significantly better integrated graphics (iris), suffix indicates the performance of the iGPU (G1<G5<G7) H = high performance; used by gaming laptops & workstations HF = same as above but without iGPU, unsuitable for portable laptops due continuous battery drain

1. 1. DESKTOP

F = no iGPU for lower price K = overclockable & unlocked desktop CPU KF = same as above but without iGPU KS = same as above but better binned (can run higher clock speeds for same or lower power) X = made for enthusiasts; very expensive, overclockable , more instructions support, higher core count & requires HEDT motherboard
