Power Consumption (TDP = Thermal Design Power)ĭual-Channel DDR4 Memory Controller, HyperThreading, AVX, AVX2, Quick Sync, Virtualization, AES-NI Intel specifies the TDP with 45 watts and therefore the i9 is only suited for big laptops with good cooling solutions. We do expect a performance improvement, but as a low-end solution it will probably only display current games smoothly at reduced details - if at all. The architecture is identical to that of the Intel HD Graphics 630. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 iGPU is supposed to offer a slightly higher performance as its clock rate has been increased by 50 MHz. According to first benchmarks, the mobile variant can reach the performance of the Core i9-9900K if the cooling is sufficient. eight cores for the high end versions) and the improved 14nm process (14nm++ according to Intel).ĭue to the two additional cores, performance has increased by almost 33% compared to a similar clocked 6-core processor. The Coffee Lake architecture is similar to Kaby Lake and differs only in the amount of cores (now max. The i9-9980HK is the fastest model of the Coffee-Lake-H (refresh) series at the time of announcement and offers an unlocked multiplier for overclocking of the CPU.

Compared to the predecessor, the Core i9-8950HK, the 9980H is based on the same architecture but offers 2 more cores and higher clock speeds (boost).Īccording to Intel, the CPU is manufactured in an improved 14nm (14nm++) process. Multiple cores can be boosted +100 MHz? below 50☌ (not verified).

The 5 GHz can only be reached using the 'Thermal Velocity Boost' which allows one core to boost to 5 GHz (+100 MHz) as long as the CPU temperature is below 50☌. The processor clocks at between 2.4 - 5 GHz and can execute up to sixteen threads simultaneously thanks to Hyper-Threading. The Intel Core i9-9980HK is a high-end processor for laptops with eight cores based on the Coffee Lake architecture (2019 refresh, CFL-HR).
