Designed for high-end gaming and creative machines
Intel will soon be releasing their most powerful Core processor yet: the 10th Gen Lake H-series. It's a powerhouse of a processor for gamers and creative machines that need a huge amount power and efficient performance. These new set of chips will have a TDP of 45W along with a clock speed that goes beyond 5.0GHz which breaks the barrier.
The spotlight also shines brightly on the new Core i9 model, which is the Core i9-10980K. It has eight cores, 16 threads, and a base clock speed of at least 2.3GHz but can be beefed up to 5.3GHz. Though this is considered a big leap, the company vows to offer up to 44% better and stronger overall performance compared to the i7-7820K.
The i9 and i7 chips also have a new feature that Intel will be sporting called "Thermal Velocity Boost." This helps them reach 5.0GHz and above speeds by boosting and amplifying the clock frequency by up to 200Mhz automatically when the temperature is at 149 degrees Fahrenheit. That, of course, assumes that enough power is available.
It's widely known that Intel has been dropping 10th Gen chips for a while now in laptops with the 10nm Ice Lake chips and 14nm Comet Lake processors--both of which offer efficiency, performance, and a better battery life. These are all considered to be either low-power Y-series or mid-range U-series.
For the public not to get confused, these new set of chips are still Comet Lake chips, which basically means that they're not using the 10nm Ice Lake process or even the 10nm+ Tiger Lake process.
Intel responds to AMD's numbers
Since Intel has experience on this matter, especially with the 14nm node that has been developed and has helped achieve better performance, the older process may be of help when it comes to the new H-series chip. Similar to Intel's 10th gen chips, the H-series will also be seeing some of the line-up's wide benefits such as the Thunderbolt 3 and the integrated Wi-Fi 6 support.
This new line up is Intel's response to AMD's highly publicized Ryzen 4000 series, which is the 45W H-series like the Ryzen 9 4900HS, Ryzen 5 4600H, and the Ryzen 7 4800H. While these are just beginning to roll out, reviews and impressions on these have been very impressive.
Intel will try to surpass AMD's top chips once again, which offers better clock speeds than AMD's astonishing numbers in this area. New laptops with the H-series should be released in the next couple of weeks from manufacturers like Gigabyte, Acer, and Asus.
