The letters "U," "P," "H," and "G" in laptop processors are suffixes used by Intel to indicate different characteristics and performance levels of their processors. These suffixes provide information about power consumption, performance, and integrated graphics capabilities. Here's what each letter represents:
U: The "U" stands for "Ultra Low Power." Processors with the "U" suffix are designed for mobile devices like tablets and laptops where heat, size, and power consumption are important factors. They are known for their low power consumption and are commonly used in thin and light laptops.
P: The "P" stands for "Performance." Processors with the "P" suffix are part of the performance CPU lineup for laptops and tablets. These processors offer higher performance compared to the "U" series and are suitable for tasks that require more processing power, such as gaming and content creation.
H: The "H" stands for "High Power/Performance." Processors with the "H" suffix are designed to be the highest performing chips for mobile systems like laptops and tablets. They offer even more power and performance compared to the "P" series processors and are often used in gaming laptops and high-end workstations.
G: The "G" stands for "Graphics." Processors with the "G" suffix have a powerful built-in graphics processor. These processors are capable of handling graphics-intensive tasks and can often play 3D games without the need for a separate dedicated graphics card. The "G" series ranges from G1 (oldest) to G7 (newest). However, it's worth noting that Intel has shifted to using the Intel Iris and Iris Xe graphics designation instead of the "G" series.
It's important to note that these suffixes are specific to Intel processors and may not apply to processors from other manufacturers like AMD or Apple.
