I don't like the use of the i9 moniker for only a 6 core hyper threaded CPU, it's a 'con' to use that moniker. Could do with being some consistency in terms of core count at least between desktop & mobile when it comes to i5/i7/i9 etc - I can deal with the core frequencies being different (lower) on the mobile CPUs but I think core count should retain some equality in terms of the series numbering between desktop & mobile.
What makes it worse is that on the mobile front there's even inconsistency with the series numbering within it's own mobile sphere (when not even comparing to desktop). They have here 6 core hyperthreaded CPUs described as both i7 & i9 - there's not even any logical consistency here either.
On a positive note: good to have 6 core CPUs arriving in laptops!

Strange how there are no 4c/8t models. When it comes to x86-based laptops, I'd much rather have a 4c/8t over a 6c/6t. If this were ARM, I'd gladly take the extra cores, since ARM is a more efficient with idle cores.
I know I won't be getting any of these CL laptops if the CPUs are all going to be 45W.
Intel has been doing stuff like this for years. Dual core i7s with HT were pretty common. It boggled my mind why anyone bothered to buy one of those over an i5.

I actually didn't see much laptop performance being capped by slow CPU.
My top 3 reasons for slow laptop:
1) Low amount of RAM causes swapping, which causes massive lags when opening or switching between apps.
-> Add RAM (at least 4GB)
2) HDD. Laptop HDD's are really slow. Takes a while to load OS or apps.
-> Switch to SSD, also helps with swapping
3) Overheating. No matter how fast CPU is, once overheated it won't perform at all. i5 CPUs might actually perform better then i7 since they produce less heat and have lower chance to be affected by throttling.
-> Get CPU with less TDP and even lower clock speed if heat becomes an issue.
4 and 5 would be software issue and lack of GPU performance, still not CPU issue.
edit:
From article, even if still not confirmed I don't think it's possible to have 45W across all CPUs (from i3 to i9). Unless we double cut CPU clock once we add 2 times more cores.

Nice I was waiting for this. This would be good for those who do gaming as well as video editing on their laptops. Or for those who are on the go all the time and need a laptop for video editing on the go. But there might be limitations like battery life and clock speeds as well as previously mentioned. If I hadn't gotten my gaming laptop I would have waited and pulled the trigger on a coffee lake hex core gaming laptop but I needed an upgrade badly not so much in the CPU department but in Graphics horsepower. Since I was using a workstation laptop for gaming while it worked great for a while but the lack of gaming horsepower from the GPU since it was a workstation card caught up with the times. I couldn't even play Wii Emulated games beyond the native resolution and Diablo 3 was starting to become laggy so I had to turn down the graphics.

At Intel:
Blah,blah and blha blah "The listing was published over at Anandtech, who spotted it at release update nite from AIDA. The Core i3 series will become quad-0cores, the i5 series hexa-cores and the i7 series hex-cores with hyper-threading (SMT). The HK denominator on the Core i9 processor is indicative of an unlocked processor. These processors get a 45 Watt TDP."
All Intel 8th Generation Intel Core i7 Processors have vPro and IME tech.So why we bother to buy these Security holes in our PCs? 😱
Ohh,they "patched",right.But for how long will be discovered another security holes?unpatched OS(Minix) in our beloved Intel Cpus is a real thread.
