Is Mifare card the same as Mifare Classic

[onyekachi]

I am reviewing a dual interface card trying to understand the contactless interface type. Is the Mifare 1k refereed below referencing Mifare Classic

1.5.2 SmartMX contactless interface
The optional contactless interface is fully compatible with ISO/IEC 14443 A as well as
NXP Semiconductors field proven MIFARE technology. A dedicated Contactless Interface
Unit (CIU) manages and supports communication using data rates up to 848 kbit/s. A true
anti-collision method (in accordance with ISO/IEC 14443-3) enables multiple cards to be
handled simultaneously.
The optional MIFARE functionality provided in configurations B1 (MIFARE 1K
implementation) and B4 (MIFARE 4K implementation ) safeguard the interface
compatibility with any installed MIFARE infrastructure. The ability to run the MIFARE
protocol concurrently with other contactless transmission protocols implemented by the
user OS (T=CL or self defined) enables the combination of new services and existing
applications based on MIFARE (e.g. ticketing) on a single dual interface controller based
smart card
