Intel has traditionally been grouping Core i7 processors into generations based on the microarchitecture they are based on with 1st generation being based on Nehalem in 45 nm with the latest chips based on Skylake manufactured using a 14 nm process.ġst Generation (Nehalem) Main article: Nehalem µarchģrd Generation (Ivy Bridge) Main article: Ivy Bridge Microarchitecture 3 rd generation Intel Core i7 ProcessorsĤth Generation (Haswell) Main article: Haswell Microarchitectureĥth Generation (Broadwell) Main article: Broadwell Microarchitectureħth generation Core i7 processors, models which were introduced by Intel in early 2017, are manufactured on Intel's improved 14 nm process "14nm+" which allowed for higher clock speeds at similar voltage levels. Likewise, Core i7 processors offer the most complete set of features Introduced as the successor to the Core 2 Quad in 2008, the Core i7 represents Intel's high-end performance processors, above both the mainstream consumer performance Core i5 and the entry-level consumer performance Core i3.
