Intel is making big branding changes to its CPUs from its next-gen Meteor Lake chips onwards. From that generation onward, there'll no longer be an 'i' in 'Core i5' or 'Core i7', etc, and instead there'll also be a new 'Ultra' brand to signify the most advanced chips of the generation.
The 'i' is being dropped "to highlight significant shift in architecture and design" from its Meteor Lake generation chips onwards. This isn't entirely a surprise, as word leaked out last month that Intel was thinking of making the change.
