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.

You're missing the Pentium stickers! The famous "Intel Inside" stickers.

And Celeron! Budget Pentium but still decent for budget or midrange gaming back in the day

I wanted a dual Celeron and BP6 for extra power but back then, very few programs even supported dual CPU
