Does anyone know what the latest/newest generation is?
With the i3/i5/i7/i9 naming convention I have lost track Unless i3.1s have essentially the same architecture as i3.xxx newest.

So, if Netburst gen 7; Conroe gen 8; Haswell gen 9; Skylake gen 10.
Also exists separate branch of Bonnell (Atom), which is based on CMOS old p5 core and have totally different from desktop line generations.
And I don't consider MMX and Netburst as separate generations, but as dead end branches. If consider all dead-ends we should be over 20.
AMD have significantly less number of generations, I think Ryzen could be considered something like k-11.
I think upcoming Intel CPUs will be hybrids of Skylake fast cores with Atom (whatever) energy-effective cores.
More detailed explanation on link:
The next ones are Sierra Forest and Granite Rapids on the server side, Arrow Lake on the desktop and Lunar Lake on the laptop.
And then comes Panther Lake supposedly next year which is both desktop and laptop and Gelsinger admitted betting the company on the 18A process it is using.
We shall see.
