Intel has unveiled a new lineup<\/a><\/strong> of high-performance mobile processors, which includes its first-ever Core i9 CPU for laptops.<\/p>\n

The company launched the new laptop chips across its Core U-Series and Core H-Series.<\/p>\n

Mobile processors in Intel’s H-Series feature up to six cores with 12 threads and boast much better performance than the previous generation of mobile CPUs.<\/p>\n

The U-Series chips are more power-efficient than the high-performance products, and comprise both dual and quad-core chips with four and eight threads respectively.<\/p>\n

The H-Series chips have a thermal design power (TDP) of 45W, while the U-Series processors have a TDP of 28W.<\/p>\n

Intel’s new mobile chips are already being used in high-end laptops, such as the ASUS ROG Zephyrus M, and will adopted in powerful mobile devices as manufacturers take up the technology.<\/p>\n

The specifications of Intel’s new H-Series and U-Series mobile processors are listed below.<\/p>\n

Performance improvements<\/h3>\n

Intel said its Core i9-8950HK is the highest-performance mobile processor it has ever created, and is aimed at delivering exceptional gaming and content-creation experiences.<\/p>\n

The i9-8950HK is an overclockable chip, making it ideal for performance enthusiasts looking to get the best clock speeds possible from their laptop.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the higher core count of its siblings make them perfect for gaming laptops and high-end professional notebooks.<\/p>\n

The new processors are built on Intel’s Coffee Lake architecture, which uses a refined 14nm manufacturing process to improve on the company’s previous 14nm architectures.<\/p>\n

According to Intel, its new H-Series mobile chips deliver up to 41% better performance in games compared to the previous generation, and deliver 59% faster video editing in 4K resolutions.<\/p>\n

The new Core i9 processor also includes a feature called Thermal Velocity Boost (TVB), which automatically overclocks the chip if its temperature remains low.<\/p>\n

Intel has increased support for its Optane storage products with its latest mobile chip lineup, too, and the manufacturer said it will begin shipping products branded as Core i3+, i5+, and i7+.<\/p>\n

This “+” label indicates that a device combines Intel’s new high-performance chips with Optane memory acceleration.<\/p>\n

Intel added that the news chips also feature integrated graphics.<\/p>\n

The integrated graphics solutions in the CPUs are based on existing Intel graphics solutions, and include the likes of the Intel UHD Graphics 630.<\/p>\n
