In addition to two CPU cores with Hyper-Threading clocked at 1.6 - 2.7 GHz (2 Cores: 2.5 GHz), the chip also integrates an HD Graphics 6000 GPU and a dual-channel LPDDR3-1866/DDR3L-1600 memory controller. The Intel Core i5-5250U is an ULV (ultra low voltage) dual-core processor based on the Broadwell architecture, which has been launched in January 2015. Intel Core i5-5250U ► remove from comparison Using cTDP-down, the CPU can also be configured to 35 Watt resulting in a reduced performance. Intel specifies the TDP with 45 watts and therefore the i7 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 (rumored). As a high-end model, the i7-8850H is suitable for the most demanding applications and games. Single-core performance has not improved since its Kaby Lake predecessor. The Coffee Lake architecture is similar to Kaby Lake and differs only in the amount of cores (now six 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 50% compared to a similar clocked Kaby Lake processor like the Core i7-7820HQ (2.9 - 3.9 GHz). According to Intel, the CPU is manufactured in an improved 14nm (14nm++) process.


The processor clocks at between 2.2 and 4.1 GHz (4 GHz with 4 cores, 3.9 GHz with 6 cores) and can execute up to twelve threads simultaneously thanks to Hyper-Threading. The Intel Core i7-8750H is a high-end processor for laptops with six cores based on the Coffee Lake architecture and will be announced early 2018. Intel Core i7-8750H ► remove from comparison
