How to Find the Generation of Intel® Core™ Processor 

In Intel® Core™ Processors, the generation of the processor is the first number after i9, i7, i5, or i3.

Here are some examples:

11th Gen examples

• Intel® Core™ Processor i7-1165G7 because 11 number is listed after i7
• Intel® Core™ Processor i5-1130G7 because number 11 is listed after i5

10th Gen examples

• Intel® Core™ Processor i7-1065G7 because number 10 is listed after i7
• Intel® Core™ Processor i5-10210U because 10 number is listed after i5

9th Gen example

• Intel® Core™ Processor i9-9900K Processor is 9th generation because number 9 is listed after i9.

8th Gen examples

• Intel® Core™ Processor i7-8650U Processor is 8th generation because the number 8 is listed after i7.
• Intel® Core™ Processor i5-8600 Processor is 8th generation because the number 8 is listed after i5.

7th Gen examples

• Intel® Core™ Processor i7-7920HQ Processor is 7th generation because the number 7 is listed after i7.
• Intel® Core™ Processor i5-7200U Processor is 7th generation because the number 7 is listed after i5.
• Intel® Core™ Processor i3-7350K Processor is 7th generation because the number 7 is listed after i3.

6th Gen example

• Intel® Core™ Processor i5-6400T Processor is 6th generation because the number 6 is listed after i5.

5th Gen example

• Intel® Core™ Processor i7-5650U Processor is 5th generation because the number 5 is listed after i7. 

4th Gen example

• Intel® Core™ Processor i3-4350T Processor is 4th generation because the number 4 is listed after i3.

3rd Gen example

• Intel® Core™ Processor i7-3820QM Processor is 3rd generation because the number 3 is listed after i7.
