Intel Core is a line of multi-core (with the exception of Core Solo and Core 2 Solo) central processing units (CPUs) for midrange, embedded, workstation, high-end, enthusiast, gaming computer and entry-level server markets marketed by Intel Corporation. These processors displaced the existing mid- to high-end Pentium processors at the time of their introduction, moving the Pentium to the mid-range budget market. Identical or more capable versions of Core processors are also sold as Xeon processors for the server and workstation markets. Core was launched in January 2006 as a mobile-only series, consisting of single-core and dual-core models. It was then succeeded later in July by the Core 2 series, which included both desktop and mobile processors with up to four cores, and introduced 64-bit support. A new naming scheme was introduced in 2023, consisting of Core 3, Core 5, and Core 7 for mid-range to high-end processors, and Core Ultra 5, Core Ultra 7, and Core Ultra 9 for super-high-end processors, respectively succeeding the Core i3, i5, i7, and i9, which had been manufactured for desktops and laptops from 2008 to 2024.

Unlike earlier branding, these names no longer reflected specific technical features such as core count, but instead indicated relative performance levels: entry-level (i3), mid-range (i5), and high-end (i7). The tiers corresponded to the company's prior Intel Processor Rating system, which assigned three, four, and five stars to the Core lines, above the one- and two-star ratings for Celeron and Pentium, respectively. In 2017, Intel added a fourth tier with the introduction of the Core i9, positioned above the i7 as a premium high-performance option. Pre-i9 series Era Socket: FCBGA1787, a BGA socket, thus these CPUs are meant only for system integrators Intel Xe UHD Graphics Up to 128 GB DDR4-3200 memory Was initially incorrectly listed as having a 5.3 GHz TVB boost frequency.
