Is there an i8 processor ?

When a lot of computers users hear of the release of the 8th generation Core i9 processor some are tempted to think which is the Core i8 processor.

I know this might sound a bit ridiculous but there is no i8 processor. The  Intel series of processors is odd to take an example i3, i5, i7, and the recent i9.

All these I series are odd in the same sense. Each and every I series has some capacity expected from its users. For example

Intel I series

i3 – Developed and manufactured by Intel, the processor is expected to do all the basic computing stuff with your PC such as typing, editing, play cards, watching movies and others. The Core i3 was the replacement of the dual-core processors.

The Core i3 comes with multiple speeds ranging from 1.30 GHz up to 3.50 GHz and features either 3 MB or 4 MB of cache. It’s only a select few high-end Core i3 processors which are quad-core ( have 4 cores )

i5 – better if you do enjoy functions that require high-end specs such as casual gaming and light editing. 

Currently, all Core i5 processors, except for the i5-4570T, are quad cores. The Core i5-4570T is the only a dual-core processor with a standard clock speed of 2.9GHz.

i7 – You can use this I series for hardcore activities such as gaming, editing, machine learning and other stuff that require machines with high-end specs.

Currently, the Core i7 is under the family of 64-bit x86 CPUs with up to eight cores from Intel that were introduced in 2008 as the successor to Core 2.

The Core i7 chips were the high-end CPUs in the Core “i” line prior to the i9 in 2017

i9 – This is another 8th generation processor that is already out there in the market. The i9 processor was designed for PC and if put in a laptop, the device will drain your battery in just no minutes (it doesn’t matter how big the battery is ).

Core i9 represents Intel’s most prestigious chip family, offering the best performance at the highest price. The Core i9 chips are priced from $999 to $1699.

Conclusion

In brief, there is no core i8 or any Intel I series which is even. The intel Core I series are denoted by odd numbers and the biggest number normally denotes the latest series and capabilities of the processors.
