Intel has also offered non-Ultra Core CPUs, but these have never been particularly interesting, mostly because both the Series 1 and Series 2 chips were based on Intel's old Raptor Lake architecture. Raptor Lake was the code name for 2023's 13th-generation Core family, and most versions of Raptor Lake were the same silicon used for 2022's 12th-generation Core CPUs.

But the naming and renaming of Raptor Lake apparently couldn't last forever. Intel's new, non-Ultra Core Series 3 processors are new silicon, a return to the days when you could expect high-end and midrange Intel chips to include many of the same advancements despite their performance differences.
