Intel releases Core i9-9980HK laptop processor with eight cores

Intel today launches their ninth generation of Core H processors for laptops, the top end model has been fitted with 8-cores running one thread up-to 5 GHz.

At the top of the stack is the 9th Gen Intel Core i9-9980HK processor, the first Intel® Core™ i9 mobile processor with up to 5 GHz2 with Intel® Thermal Velocity Boost, 8 cores and 16 threads, and supporting 16MB of Intel® Smart Cache. The 9th Gen Intel Core mobile processors are designed for the most demanding workloads to deliver:

A full range of processors including Intel Core i5, i7 and the unlocked3Intel Core i9-9980HK for even more performance.

Up to 33% overall performance leap compared with a 3-year old PC.4

Up to 28% increased responsiveness.5

Continuous performance optimization with Intel® Dynamic Tuning for all types of laptops.

How It Games: 9th Gen Intel Core mobile processors deliver desktop-caliber AAA gaming you can take anywhere, even while recording and streaming. With optimized performance on battery and Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 supporting multi-Gigabit Wi-Fi speed – based on the latest Wi-Fi standard offering low latency and ultra-fast connection speeds – laptop gaming gets a whole lot better. Gamers will be able to:

Play immersive AAA gameplay with up to 56% FPS improvement on games like “Total War: Warhammer II”.6

Experience up to 38% faster turn time on games like “Civilization 6”.7

Game, record and stream without compromise and broadcast HD live streams up to 2.1 times faster, gen-over-gen.8

Break the gigabit barrier with the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard running on the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (Gig+) solution offering almost three times faster throughput and up to 75% latency reduction9 – pair it with Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) routers based on Intel technology to unleash a great gaming experience.
