Intel processor - curious about mine
by Michael Piziak from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5MWG6)
I was curious as to what I could tell about the Intel processor in my desktop. Like what generation it was/year it was, etc...
It's curious that my motherboard is 1998 - surely my processor isn't that old....see attachment
Intel seems to make so many processors, many with nearly the same name - example: A "Pentium" processor is still being manufactured in 2021 (Intel has used the Pentium name for probably a decade or longer)...

Sticker on desktop: "Intel Core i5 vPro."
