Intel processors
Intel processors are used in desktop computers, workstations, and server systems where stable performance, platform compatibility, and clearly defined generation steps are essential. The category covers a wide range of CPUs for standard office use, performance-oriented systems, and more specialized solutions, where the choice of socket, core count, and processor generation directly impacts system use and lifecycle.
Benefits for resellers
Intel processors make it possible to work with well-defined product lines and clear segmentation, simplifying assortment planning and product guidance. Distinct Core series, generation numbering, and packaging types support both project sales and ongoing replenishment, while maintaining compatibility with existing platforms.
Key considerations in this category
- Processor type: Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, and Core Ultra series address different performance and usage requirements.
- Socket: FCLGA1700, FCLGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, and LGA1151 determine motherboard compatibility.
- Generation: Choosing between 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th generation and Series 2 affects performance and platform longevity.
- Core count: Ranges from 6-core to 24-core depending on workload and multitasking needs.
- Processor package: OEM/Tray, Intel Boxed, and Intel Boxed without cooler are selected based on installation and cooling requirements.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Core i5 and Core i7?
Core i7 processors typically offer more cores and higher performance than Core i5.
How do you choose the correct socket?
The socket must match the motherboard and the selected processor generation.
When should TRAY be chosen over Boxed?
TRAY is commonly selected for system builds where a separate cooling solution is used.
Are older Intel generations still relevant?
Yes, older generations are still suitable for existing platforms and upgrade scenarios.
