Intel announced in june that they were dropping the " i " moniker and rebranding their pc chips. the chips were supposed to be named as core 5 , core 7 , core ultra etc. Still they released 14th gen core i7 core i5. Am I missing something here?

Raptor Lake Refresh will be the last processor family to use the old brand scheme – officially known as 14th Gen Intel Core processors. The new brand scheme with Intel Core/Core Ultra will begin with Meteor Lake.
Because their new branding begins with their new architecture, Meteor Lake. Which is out for laptops this year and desktops as Arrow Lake next year. Laptops always get first priority as they are the highest volume parts.
