What do the symbols in Intel processor names mean?

Currently, processors called computer brains are mainly manufactured by Intel and AMD. Since a large percentage belongs to Intel, I will write down what the last letters (versions) in this processor name mean, for example: Core i3-7100U, Core i5-6300HQ, Core i5-9400F.

These symbols indicate how fast and efficient the processor is

K - this type of processor can be amplified (disable), if the board also has this option, the clock frequency can be increased, I will post a separate post about amplification.

F - The processor itself does not have video graphics.

X - eXtreme is a very expensive processor with a large number of cores.

M - mobile processor, limited capacity.

MX is a fast mobile processor.

S - energy saving processor.

P - processors that do not have a video card, as well as automatic amplifiers.

U - (Ultra low voltage) Processors designed mainly for ultrabooks, very energy efficient (less than 15W).

Q - quad-core processors.

H - mobile processors with a very fast video card.

An ultra-energy-efficient processor for e-ultrabooks.

L - (Low voltage), a power-saving processor that requires power in the range of 15W to 25W.

The T is a smaller frequency, slightly more economical processor from 25 to 55W.

G - Video processor available.

☝️These symbols can also be used together: i7-9700KF
