A new leak has given us purported details of Intel’s first six-core Coffee Lake H (8th-generation) mobile processors – including a top-end Core i9 model – which could be pepping up a gaming laptop near you before too long.
This info comes from Cinebench benchmarks spilled by a Chinese website (spotted by Videocardz) which shows three six-core (12-thread) models: the flagship Core i9-8950HK, along with the Core i7-8850H and Core i7-8750H.
If this is on the money, the Core i9-8950HK will have a base clock speed of around 2.9GHz with boost to around 4.8GHz (maximum on a single core). The Core i7-8850H will run at a base clock of around 2.6GHz, with boost to 4.3GHz, and the i7-8750H will hit 2.2GHz and 4.1GHz respectively.
All of these chips run with a TDP of 45W, but there’s likely to be room to maneuver in terms of power usage to allow for overclocking.
In the Cinebench R15 scores cited, the i9-8950HK recorded a benchmark of 204 in single-core, 1,083 in multi-core. That compares to 181 and 1,288 for the i7-8850H, and the i7-8750H hit 178 and 1,270 respectively.
Performance puzzler
As you may have noticed, the multi-core benchmarks are odd results seeing as the …read more
