How to Identify Intel® Core i3/i5/i7 Generation

  • Guys, tanong ko lang. Meron kasi kong i5 and i7 na procie pero hindi ko alam kung 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th gen. Pangkalahatang tanong ko na sa mga generation. Pano mo malalaman sa nakasulat sa procie mo kung anong gen un procie mo? tsaka may nababasa pa kong LGA1150, LGA1155, etc.. and Ivy bridge, haswell, etc.. Pwede pong paki enlighten ako sa mga bagay na un? Galing kasi kong AMD kaya wala akong alam sa mga ganun. Maraming salamat po sa mga makakatulong.

  • 1st gen (Nehalem) - LGA 1366 for Core i7 900 series, LGA 1156 for the rest
    Core i7 900 series
    Core i7 800 series
    Core i5 700 series
    Core i5 600 series
    Core i3 500 series

    2nd gen (Sandy Bridge) - LGA 1155
    Core i3/i5/i7 2000 series

    3rd gen (Ivy Bridge) - LGA 1155
    Core i3/i5/i7 3000 series

    4th gen (Haswell) - LGA 1150
    Core i3/i5/i7 4000 series

    5th gen (Broadwell) - LGA 1150 but 9 series chipset only
    Coming this Q2 of 2015


    Note: In the 1st gen, Core i5 700 series is quad-core while Core i5 600 series is dual-core. For all the succeeding generations, all Core i5 models are quad-core

  • I guess this might work for their desktop lineup.

    1st gen - Nehalem is i3-xxx i5-xxx i7-xxx
    Socket 1156
    2nd gen - Sandy Bridge is i3-2xxx i5-2xxx i7-2xxx
    Socket 1155
    3rd gen - Ivy Bridge is i3-3xxx i5-3xxx i7-3xxx
    Socket 1155
    4th gen - Haswell/refresh is i3-4xxx i5-4xxx i7-4xxx
    Socket 1150

    Note that 1st gen has 3 numbers while 2nd gen onward has 4 numbers with the first digit depicting their generation.
    Sandy Bridge and Ivy bridge also fits in the same socket.

    Example would be i3-2100 which means Sandy Bridge i3-2100 for socket 1155
