Is that what is meant? If so, it appears to be a fairly generic baked New York style cheesecake. Wiki says frozen ones often include sour cream instead of heavy cream, so they'll freeze better.

What is the most popular kind of cheesecake?
Since it's probably the most popular and beloved kind of cheesecake (at least by name), let's start with New York cheesecake. In summary, New York cheesecake is ultra dense and rich, firm yet creamy, and relies on lots of cream cheese for tang and texture, bolstered by heavy cream, eggs, and sugar.What is the difference between NY cheesecake and regular cheesecake?
Regular cheesecake relies on heavy cream and sour cream to thin the batter and create a silkier, creamier texture. New York cheesecake is heavy on the cream cheese which is why it's so dense and rich. Extra cream cheese isn't the only thing that makes New York cheesecake so special.What is the best cheesecake in the United States?

Answer 2
If it's just based on cream cheese and eggs, it's just a generic cheesecake, for which I don't think there's a name besides simply "cheesecake". (Call it "basic" or "plain" for emphasis if you like.) I believe I've seen plenty of this in stores.
If the ingredients include (heavy) cream, then it's a New York-style cheesecake. It's still a very basic one.
