The 8th generation Intel Core processors are divided into three categories: desktop, laptop, and embedded, with a wide variety of models. Here we will help you clarify the main series and representative models:
🖥️ desktop computer
I7 series: flagship level, 6-core 12 thread. Representative models include i7-8086K, i7-8700K (non frequency locked, overclocking), i7-8700, and low-power version i7-8700T.
I5 series: mainstream level, 6 cores and 6 threads, high cost-effectiveness. Representative models i5-8400, i5-8500, i5-8600, i5-8600K (not frequency locked, can overclock). i5-8400T,i5-8500T,i5-8600T
I3 series: entry-level, 4 cores and 4 threads. Representative models i3-8100, i3-8300, i3-8350K, i5-8400。 i3-8100T,i3-8300T
💻 notebook
I9 series: Top performance, 6-core 12 thread, only one i9-8950HK.
I7 series: High performance, 6-core 12 thread, such as i7-8750H and i7-8850H (commonly used in gaming laptops).
I5 series: mainstream mobile versions, such as i5-8300H and i5-8400H (4-core 8-thread); The low-power version includes i5-8250U and i5-8200Y (fanless ultrabook).
I3 series: entry-level mobile versions such as i3-8130U and i3-8145U.
M3 series: Ultra low power consumption, only m3-8100Y.
🧩 embedded
Mainly used for industrial computers and IoT devices, such as i7-8700E, i5-8500E and other models with the suffix "E".
When making a purchase, it can be simply noted that "K" can overclock, "T" or "U" is low-power, "H" is a high-performance laptop, and "Y" is ultra-low power.
第八代英特尔酷睿处理器分为台式机、笔记本和嵌入式三大类，型号非常庞杂。这里帮你把主要的系列和代表型号理清楚：
🖥️ 台式机
i7 系列：旗舰级，6核12线程。代表型号i7-8086K,i7-8700K（不锁频，可超频）、i7-8700、低功耗版 i7-8700T。
i5 系列：主流级，6核6线程，性价比高。代表型号 i5-8400、i5-8500、i5-8600,i5-8600K(不锁频，可超频）。i5-8400T,i5-8500T,i5-8600T
i3 系列：入门级，4核4线程。代表型号 i3-8100、i3-8300、i3-8350K,i5-8400。i3-8100T,i3-8300T
💻 笔记本
i9 系列：顶级性能，6核12线程，仅一款 i9-8950HK。
i7 系列：高性能，6核12线程，如 i7-8750H、i7-8850H（游戏本常用）。
i5 系列：主流移动版，如 i5-8300H、i5-8400H（4核8线程）；低功耗版有 i5-8250U、i5-8200Y（无风扇轻薄本用）。
i3 系列：入门移动版，如 i3-8130U、i3-8145U。
m3 系列：极致低功耗，仅 m3-8100Y。
🧩 嵌入式
主要用于工业计算机、物联网设备，如 i7-8700E、i5-8500E 等带“E”后缀的型号。
选购时可以简单这样记：带“K”能超频，带“T”或“U”是低功耗，带“H”是高性能笔记本，带“Y”是超低功耗。
