Intel launches new 9th generation core mobile led by monster i9

9th generation Intel Core Mobile expands and in what way. The blue giant proves that 14nm can still go a long way with impressive laptop processors such as the 8-core Core i9-9980HK with 45W TDP. The new 9th generation range consists of 6 processors that ensure performance at the desktop level.

45W and up to 5GHz processors with desktop performance

These new mobile beasts will ensure us a performance worthy of a high-end desktop, with a fundamental ally such as the Intel H300 series chipset for laptops, the highest in its range and oriented only to the best of the best. best.

But it is not only about adding cores, processing threads or frequency, we also have important news from the point of view of connectivity and memory. Finally we will have support for Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and also compatibility with Intel Optane H10 memory. These processors will have a capacity to address a total of 128 GB of 2666 MHz DDR4 RAM with up to 64 GB for each DIMM channel, ideal for mobile workstations and mega tasks.

This new range of processors comprises quad, six and eight core chips named of course as Core i5, Core i7 and Core i9 respectively. In addition, the clock frequencies in turbo mode range between 4.1 GHz and 5 GHz, something impressive if we talk about processors for laptops. But of course, everything has a positive part and also a negative part, will we really reach these 5 GHz? We can come, for this they are manufactured, but it is necessary to meet a series of ideal thermal conditions for a mobile CPU to be able to maintain this frequency continuously. The first ingredient will be the need to have a liquid or very powerful cooling system, something quite complicated by space limitations, and the other is that it must be plugged into the power (goodbye to portability) because if not, see how much battery life.

What we mean is that processors like the 9980HK will hardly reach 100% with the current barbecue we have for laptops. So it is the manufacturers' turn to bring out the best in themselves to design a powerful system such as that of the MSI GT75 Titan.

Intel Optane is also renewed

The new Intel Optane H10 version comes with impressive performance enhancements, judging by the manufacturer's numbers. This memory can act as an intelligent cache for the SSD of our equipment. In this way, there will be an improvement in the opening of files of 63% compared to a normal SSD based on TLC and will load the games 129% faster.

Support for the new Wi-Fi reduces connection latency by 75% with downloads up to 3x faster. This is good news for those who already have one of these 802.11ax routers with them, who will be able to express their full potential in Wi-Fi LAN with OFDMA and MU-MIMO.

9th generation datasheet

In total we will have two Core i5 processors with a total of 4 cores and 8 processing threads that are shaping up to be the entry level processors, and yet they are already quite powerful with up to 4.3 GHz in turbo mode. We continue with two other Core i7 6 cores and 12 threads with 12 MB of L3 cache. Specifically, the Core i7-9850H is emerging as the high-end, with a partially unlocked multiplier and surely the number 1 option for gaming equipment with Nvidia RTX 2070 and 2080.

Then we will have two other Core i9 beasts with 4.8 and 5 GHz, which are called 9980H and 9980HK, the latter unlocked and both with 16 MB of L3 cache, 8 cores and 16 threads. These processors are of course geared towards the enthusiastic range and practically intended for mega-tasking and design. We wouldn't be surprised if Acer pulled out one of its monsters to draw muscle. According to Intel, these processors render 56% in games and 54% in 4K edition more than a team from 3 years ago. Of course, when we have a laptop of these with only the battery power.
