Intel Unleashes 9th Generation Mobility Lineup, Lead By Monstrous 8-Core i9-9980HK With 5GHz Boost And 45W TDP

Intel has unleashed the full lineup of its 9th generation mobility H-series processors and information technology'southward articulate that the company isn't holding dorsum any punches. The lineup is headed past the Core i9-9980HK, which is an eight-Core/16-Threads part and has a turbo boost of 5GHz with a configurable TDP of 45W only. This is nothing short of impressive and the maturity of their 14nm procedure clearly shows.

Intel offers Desktop calibre performance with 9th gen H-series processors

The new Intel 9th generation mobility processors volition exist powered by the 300-serial mobile chipset and will characteristic plenty of new tech. Intel Wi-Fi half-dozen is at present supported along with Intel Optane memory H10. Intel's loftier capacity Intel SSD 660p is also supported as well every bit a total DIMM capacity of 128GB DDR4 - which is corking for anyone going the creator or mobile workstation route. The H-serial lineup targets the enthusiast category, all the way from content creation, gaming and to people who merely similar fast machines.

Intel'due south thermal velocity boost technology is what essentially allows the peak tier processors to achieve clock rates equally high as 5GHz. Depending on the electric current operating temperature of the processor and how much cooling and power is bachelor in the specific laptop, the CPU will automatically boost over the standard turbo boost till the parameters no longer remain opportunistic. What this essentially means is that unless y'all have one of those beast-of-a-liquid-cooled-laptops or workstation type builds, this clock rate will not be sustained.

Intel likewise seems to have found a niche adequacy with Optane retentivity which tin act as a sort of smart cache bulldoze for the SSD. Intel claims that the retention can open large media files 63% faster than a traditional TLC based SSD and will load gaming levels 129% faster than a standard SSD. The back up for Wifi half dozen also reduces latency by up to 75% and can offering nigh 3x speedier downloads. All H-series processors have two channels of DDR4-2666 MHz DIMMs which when combined with support for 128 Gigs of RAM means each channel tin support up to 64GB each.

The lineup consists of quad-core, hexa-core and octa-cadre parts, divided into Core i5s, Core i7s and Core i9s. Just the Cadre i9s take access to thermal velocity boost and only the Cadre i9-9980HK has an unlocked multiplier. The mainstream loftier-end processor is at present the Cadre i7-9850H which tin heave up to 4.6GHz and also has a partially unlocked multiplier. This is followed by the Core i7-9750H. Both processors are hexa-core dies with hyperthreading enabled. Finally, you take the quad-core dies: the Intel Core i5-9400H and what I presume will exist the entry-level choice: the Core i5-9300H.

The company also had the usual flurry of 1st party performance comparison confronting a iii-twelvemonth-erstwhile system: upwardly to 56% faster performance in gaming with up to 54% faster 4K video editing.
