No. Intermittent fasting is an umbrella term for eating habits that cycle between a period of fasting and non-fasting. 16:8 is one common style, popularized as the "Leangains" method. There is also the "warrior diet" of 20:4, OMAD (basically 23:1), and even alternate day fasting (every other day).

The names really don't matter though. You are just tightening eating periods more and more to aid insulin sensitivity and training/forcing your body to run off fat for fuel during the fasted times. As just a habit, without a calorie restriction, it improves the evenness of my energy. With caloric restriction, it helps keep hunger at bay and makes it easier to stay within calorie limits. Hunger levels are better because you aren't spiking insulin and running off glucose, and calories are easier to maintain a limit on because after a few weeks you aren't as hungry and during tighter eating windows less makes you fuller.

My suggestion is to try 16:8 for a few weeks, then bump it to 23:1 and do that for a while. Experiment. See how you react.
