Processor numbers for the Intel® Core™ i7 brand have the i7 identifier followed by a three digit numerical sequence.
Intel Core i7-940 processor
A higher number within a processor class or family generally indicates more features, including: cache, clock speed, Front Side Bus, Intel® QuickPath Interconnect, new instructions, or other Intel technolgies¹. A higher processor number may also have more of one feature and less of another.
Intel Core 2 Duo processor E8500
Processor numbers for the Intel® Core™2 processor family brands are categorized with an alpha prefix followed by a four digit numerical sequence. The table below explains the alpha prefixes used for the Intel Core 2 processor families.
Intel Core 2 Quad processor Q9550s
Processor numbers for the Intel® Core™2 Quad family have an alpha prefix followed by a four digit numerical sequence. Additionally, low power Intel Core 2 Quad processors are identifiable by an "S" suffix which represents processors having a lower thermal design power.

Intel Processor
Intel processor numbers are based on a variety of features that may include the processor's underlying architecture, cache, Front Side Bus, clock speed, power and other Intel technologies¹. A processor number represents a broad set of features that can influence overall computing experience but is not a measurement of performance.
A higher number within a processor class or family generally indicates more features, but it may be more of one and less of another. Once you decide on a specific processor brand and type, compare processor numbers to verify the processor includes the features you are looking for.
Intel’s processor number system is used with the following brands:
• Intel Core Processors
• Intel Celeron Processors
• Intel Atom Processors
• Intel Xeon and Itanium Processors

Mobile WiMAX Technology
Mobile WiMAX¹ is the next revolution in wireless technology that will enable pervasive, high-speed connectivity to meet the ever-increasing demand for broadband Internet on the go. Delivering the next leap in the mobile network evolution with fourth generation (4G) wireless, WiMAX will drive a wide array of devices well beyond what's available today, including notebooks, phones, consumer electronic devices, Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) and more.
The WiMAX future
The only network optimized specifically for mobile broadband Internet, WiMAX is based on a set of global standards covering fixed, portable, and mobile deployments on an open network that will help drive and leverage the openness of the Internet, as opposed to prior generation's, closed systems, such as 3G networks.
The low-cost, all-IP network architecture and backwards compatibility with existing 2G and 3G cellular network deployments makes WiMAX easier and more cost-effective to deploy and operate than current mobile wireless data solutions. As a result, it has already garnered broad support from leading operators—both wired line and wireless—and device manufacturers around the world.
WiMAX provides two to three times the performance of 3G solutions today, with the ability to scale to ten times the performance in the future.² As a driving force in collaboration with industry leaders, Intel is working towards further expansion and support of WiMAX through technology advancements such as Intel® WiMAX/WiFi Link 5050 Series, an integrated module solution for notebooks with advanced MIMO antenna technology. Notebooks with Intel® Centrino® 2 processor technology will have Intel® WiMAX/WiFi Link 5050 Series as an available option in the latter half of 2008.
