Why does lspci show intel 8th gen when I am using i7-9850H cpu? OS: Debian 10 $ cat /proc/cpuinfo model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9850H CPU @ 2.60GHz $ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 8th Gen Core Processor Host Bridge/DRAM Registers (rev 0d) I think i7-9850H is intel 9th gen core processor. But why does lspci show `8th Gen`? Thanks a lot.

lspci uses a community driven PCI database which might contain errors.

You may want to download its latest version and overwrite your Debian file (it's 100% safe) and see if the error has been fixed. If not, please submit new correct information.

Another possibility is that this particular device is shared between 8th generation and 9th generation CPUs, so it's shown to be the 8th generation though I've never seen Intel do this before.
