Cascade Lake (CLX) is Intel's successor to Skylake, an enhanced 14nm+ process microarchitecture for enthusiasts and servers. Cascade Lake is the "Optimization" phase as part of Intel's PAO model.
For desktop enthusiasts, Skylake is branded Core i7, and Core i9 processors (under the Core X series). For scalable server class processors, Intel branded it as Xeon Bronze, Xeon Silver, Xeon Gold, and Xeon Platinum.
