Core i7-8720HQ is one of the new Intel processors for laptops and we can already know many of its features with the appearance of an engineering sample at a Chinese technology forum.

New Core i7-8720HQ brings all 6 cores to laptops

The Core i7-8720HQ is based on the same 1440-pin BGA socket as the seventh generation processors, this processor is unique in that it is a true eighth generation processor that hides no less than six physical cores with the technology Coffee Lake. These cores have Hyperthreading so they can handle up to twelve threads of execution simultaneously. We also found a 9MB L3 cache that contrasts with the 12MB that is physically present on the chip so there has been a cut.

Intel Core i5-8400 Review in Spanish (Full Review)

This Core i7-8720HQ operates at a clock speed of 2.4 GHz in its base mode while being able to reach 3.6 GHz under turbo to improve its performance. Its performance meets that offered by the desktop Core i5-8600K in multi-core tests, which means that the extra threads allow it to compensate for lower frequencies.

This Core i7-8720HQ could be the new flagship Intel processor for gaming laptops, we could see it in new equipment that would hit the market in the first quarter of 2018.
