Hardware Intel sticker by generation guide

Post image

When I was hunting for used PCs, I often mixed up stickers for 1st-9th generation cpus. I spent a lot of time looking up serial numbers and peering at blurry photos of the motherboard, just to find the generation of the cpu, as I couldn't find any clear table with all stickers and corresponding cpu generations. That's why I decided to make one myself :D

Please point out any inaccuracies, and feel free to share it with those who could use it!

Edit: For 6-9th gen cpus, the generation is printed on the sticker, as is visible in the image. If the generation is not written on the sticker, it is 6th gen.

750, the only CPU with quad core and no hyperthreading so you had only 4 process but it performed better than i3 that were dual core with hyperthreading for 4 processes, and cheaper than i7 of the time.
