Ý nghĩa của các bộ xử lý Intel Suffixes là gì?

I just bought a Core i7, 2nd generation machine which shows information for the processor in BIOS as:

Intel Core i7-2620M CPU @ 2.70Ghz

I have seen i7, 3rd and 4th generation processors listed in Google search results, but I do not understand what the suffix (M) means. I have also seen other processors with suffixes like MQ and QX.

Can somebody please explain what these suffixes actually mean?

About Intel Processor Numbers

Source: Intel Processor Numbers: Laptops, Desktops, and Mobile Devices [Intel]

The processor number is one of several factors, along with processor brand, specific system configurations, and system-level benchmarks to be considered when choosing the right processor for your computing needs.

A higher number within a processor class or family generally indicates more features, but it may be more of one and less of another. Once you decide on a specific processor brand and type, compare processor numbers to verify the processor includes the features you are looking for.

See the source link above for all the letter and product line suffixes.
