Intel has been on the i3, i5, i7 naming scheme for a while though. I think the oldest ones are probably ~15 years old at this point.
i7 just marked their top of the line consumer products until they introduced the i9 in 2017. First models were introduced 2008, but I think the mobile versions came in 2010.
So yeah 15 years is pretty close.
Nah there were mobile i7s released in September 2009 (though how long they took to ship in actual hardware, dunno.)

Ah, good find, I just skimmed Ark and didn't see anything before Q1 '10.
The 2700K i7 came out 2011, were there any i7 before that?
Edit: yes there were. Like the 800 series.
13 years old i7-2600 still going strong here.
I wonder how long it takes to buy a say thinkcentre m710 (<100€) with the electricity cost difference. IIRC the 2500-2600 were quite resource hungry.
Yeah I had the i7 7700k which was like 7 years ago, and with like 64GB of ram because I wanted to play with large ramdisks.
Yeah, my 2011 Macbook Pro has an i7. In computing terms, 13 years is an eternity.
But yeah, it’s also got 16gb RAM and a 500gb SSD and runs Mint like a dream.
