Intel's first Core i7 (Nehalem, 45 nm) launched in November 2008 with Hyper-Threading back, an integrated DDR3 memory controller and Turbo Boost; the Core i5 750 followed on September 8, 2009 at $196.

Sandy Bridge (32 nm) launched January 9, 2011 with the Core i7-2600K at about $317, adding a ring bus, AVX, Quick Sync Video and an on-die GPU; a chipset flaw forced a recall of 67-series boards on January 31.

Ivy Bridge launched April 29, 2012 as Intel's first FinFET product (22 nm tri-gate), led by the Core i7-3770K (4 cores/8 threads, 3.5/3.9 GHz, $332) with HD 4000 graphics and PCIe 3.0.

Haswell (22 nm, LGA 1150) was announced at Computex on June 4, 2013, adding AVX2/FMA3, a fully integrated voltage regulator and the Core i7-4770K at $339; the Devil's Canyon refresh fixed the thermal paste.

After yield problems on Intel's 14 nm process, Broadwell shipped as the Core M on September 5, 2014, with mobile parts on January 5, 2015 and just two desktop chips on June 2, 2015, led by the Core i7-5775C with 128 MB eDRAM ($366).

Skylake (14 nm) launched August 5, 2015 with the Core i7-6700K ($339, 4 cores/8 threads, 4.0/4.2 GHz), LGA 1151, DDR4 support and Gen9 graphics; Skylake-X on LGA 2066 followed in 2017.

Kaby Lake was announced August 30, 2016 and reached desktops January 3, 2017 on 14 nm (14FF+), led by the Core i7-7700K (4.2/4.5 GHz, $350); it ended tick-tock for process-architecture-optimization.

Coffee Lake (14 nm++) launched October 5, 2017 with six-core Core i7-8700K ($359) and, as the 9th-gen Refresh announced October 8, 2018, eight-core Core i9-9900K ($488).

Comet Lake mobile chips were announced August 21, 2019 and desktop chips arrived April 30, 2020 on 14 nm++, topped by the 10-core Core i9-10900K (5.3 GHz max turbo, $488) on LGA 1200.

Rocket Lake-S went on sale March 30, 2021, backporting the 10 nm Sunny Cove design to 14 nm++ as Cypress Cove, topped by the 8-core Core i9-11900K ($539) with PCIe 4.0 and Xe graphics.

Alder Lake launched November 4, 2021 on Intel 7 with Golden Cove performance and Gracemont efficiency cores, Thread Director, DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 on LGA 1700; the Core i9-12900K had 8P+8E cores at $589.

Raptor Lake reached shops October 20, 2022 (13th gen) and was refreshed October 17, 2023 (14th gen); the i9-13900K and i9-14900K have 8P+16E cores at $589, and 2024 saw Vmin-shift crashes, microcode fixes and a two-year warranty extension.

Intel's Core Ultra launch (Meteor Lake) on December 14, 2023 brought the first client chiplet design on Foveros packaging, built on Intel 4, with Intel's first client NPU and the new Core Ultra brand.

Lunar Lake (Core Ultra 200V) shipped September 24, 2024 with a TSMC N3B compute tile, 4 Lion Cove P-cores and 4 Skymont E-cores, on-package LPDDR5X, Xe2 graphics and a 48 TOPS NPU that meets Microsoft's Copilot+ bar.

Arrow Lake-S launched October 24, 2024 as the Core Ultra 9 285K (8P+16E, $589, no Hyper-Threading, LGA 1851) with a TSMC N3B compute tile after Intel cancelled 20A; reviews were mixed.

Panther Lake (Core Ultra Series 3) launched at CES in January 2026 as the first client CPU on Intel 18A, up to 16 cores, Xe3 graphics up to 12 Xe cores and a 50 TOPS NPU; the Core Ultra X9 388H leads.

Reported, not announced by Intel: Razor Lake is expected in Q4 2027 with Griffin Cove P-cores and Golden Eagle E-cores, pin-to-pin compatible with Nova Lake's LGA 1954, followed by Titan Lake by the end of 2028 and E-core-only Moon Lake around 2028.
