What Does These Numbers Means?

Recently, I visited at Intel's Newsroom and found the marquee showing three different number showing '1272', '1274', and '1276'. Is that Silicon process?

Yes, those are process nodes
P1272 is 14nm
P1274 is a 10nm CPU process
P1276 is 7nm

P##XX.Y

## = wafer size (6,8,12)
XX is the Process ID (even = CPU / odd = SoC/Chipset)
Y = revision/change

Thanks, CPUShack

I have seen these process nodes somewhere in one of the computer magazines many moons ago.
