Intel, as planned, today introduced the tenth generation of Core mobile processors for productive laptops, also known as Comet Lake-H. In total, six processors were presented, which have from four to eight cores with support for Hyper-Threading technology and a TDP level of 45 watts.
Comet Lake-H processors are carriers of the good old Skylake microarchitecture and are manufactured using the well-known 14nm process technology. Intel considers the ability to automatically overclock above 5 GHz to be a key feature of most of the new products presented by Intel. True, this is true only for one or two cores, for a short period of time and subject to sufficient cooling.
Like us , the Core i9-10980HK processor became the flagship of the new family. It has 8 cores and 16 threads and is clocked at 2,4/5,3 GHz. It also has an unlocked multiplier, so theoretically it can be overclocked to even higher frequencies. A step below it is the Core i7-10875H processor, which also has 8 cores and 16 threads, but already operates at 2,3 / 5,1 GHz, and its multiplier is locked.
Intel also introduced the Core i7-10750H and Core i7-10850H processors, which have 6 cores and 12 threads each. The first has clock frequencies of 2,6 / 5,0 GHz, while the second has each of the frequencies 100 MHz higher. Finally, the Core i5-10300H and Core i5-10400H processors were introduced, each with 4 cores and 8 threads. The clock speeds of the younger are 2,5 / 4,5 GHz, while the older one is again 100 MHz higher.
In terms of performance, Intel here compares its new products with three-year-old processors, that is, with Kaby Lake-H models. In games, the flagship Core i9-10980HK turns out to be 23-54% more productive than the Core i7-7820HK, which has half as many cores and threads, and its frequencies are 2,9 / 3,9 GHz. Intel also compared the Core i7-10750H with the Core i7-7700HQ (4 cores, 8 threads, 2,8 / 3,8 GHz), which was quite popular at the time, and here the difference was 31-44%. As a result, it turns out that at least in games we will not see a big difference between the Core i7-10750H and Core i9-10980HK.
Intel also notes that the Core i9-10980HK is overall 44% faster than three-year-old processors, and up to two times faster than them in 4K video processing. In turn, the Core i7-10750H turned out to be 33% more productive overall, and 70% faster in video processing.
