The Core i9 Laptops Have Arrived

**Intel Unveils New Chips with Integrated AMD Graphics**

Hey guys, this is Austin. If you love laptops, I've got some good news for you. Intel recently invited me to their event in San Francisco where they showed off a wide range of new chips, including not only Intel processors that have built-in AMD dedicated graphics but also new laptop chips across the board.

**The 8th Generation Intel Core Processors with Radeon RX Vega Graphics**

So, let's start with the very first Intel processor that has dedicated AMD graphics that are actually built inside the chip. The 8th Generation Intel Core Processors with Radeon RX Vega Graphics is a special CPU that gets a quad-core Kaby Lake base CPU that lives on the Core i7 and can boost up to 4.2 gigahertz. What really makes this special is the idea that you're getting a pretty much dedicated Radeon graphics card that's actually going to be paired inside that same chip.

**Custom Vega Implementation**

This is going to be a custom Vega implementation with between 20 or 24 CUs depending on if you go with Core i5 or Core i7. They had a couple of laptops available to demo, including the HP Spectre x360 and the Dell XPS 15 2-in-1. These are fairly thin and light laptops with 15-inch displays.

**Thin and Light Laptops**

When you consider that they have the CPU and the GPU all inside a 65-watt TDP, they don't have to be all that thick and they don't need to have any kind of crazy cooling. It's all going to be on one chip, which means that for a lot of these things, they can actually be pretty close to Ultrabooks.

**Mainstream Side**

On the mainstream side, the U-Series processors that go in a ton of Ultrabooks are going to be getting Iris Plus Graphics. This is going to be almost definitely found in things like the next-generation 13-inch MacBook. It's going to be really nice to be able to have a fairly thin and small laptop that can have not only quad-core processors but also pretty decent integrated graphics.

**Brand New Gaming Laptops Chips**

What's really exciting, though, are the brand new gaming laptops chips. These are the H-Series processors and at 45 watts, it's what you find in pretty much any gaming laptop as well as some workstations. There's a big change across the board.

**Core i5's Bumped Up**

First of all, the Core i5's are basically being bumped up to what you used to be able to get as a Core i7. They're still going to be quad-core but they now have hyperthreading. The real sweet spot, though, is going to be the brand new 8th Generation Core i7's which just like the desktop, are moving from four cores to six cores.

**Core i9 Laptop Chip**

I'm really excited to get my hands on that brand new Intel Core i9 laptop chip. This essentially builds on what you're getting on the Core i7 with the six-core design but cranks up everything to 11. The i9-8950HK has that same six-core hyperthreading design as the i7.

**Velocity Boost**

Even better is that's going to be overclockable and assuming that you're going to be fairly cool on the processor, you can get up to 4.8 gigahertz out of the Core i9. Intel had a few of these Core i9 systems set up and to be fair, they're all very, very thick.

**Conclusion**

I've got to say, I am really excited for the new i7's and i9's. Having six-cores in a laptop is going to be a legit game changer. But I'm curious, which of these processors do you think will make it into your next laptop? Let me know in the comments below.

range of new chips,including not only Intel processorsthat have built-in AMD dedicated graphics,but we're also going to begetting new laptop chipsacross the board,including a brand new six-coreCore i9 option for laptops.So, let's start with thevery first Intel processorthat has dedicated AMD graphicsthat are actually built inside the chipor by its short nameof the 8th GenerationIntel Core Processorswith Radeon RX Vega Graphics,because, you know, thatrolls off the tongue.So the CPU side of thingsisn't all that exciting.You're getting a quad-coreKaby Lake base CPUthat lives on the Core i7,can boost up to 4.2 gigahertz.What really makes this specialis the idea that you're gettinga pretty much dedicatedRadeon graphics cardthat's actually going to bepaired inside that same chip,so this is going to be acustom Vega implementationwith between 20 or 24 CUsdepending on if you gowith Core i5 or Core i7.They had a couple laptopsavailable to demo.The HP Spectre x360,which looks very similarto the ENVY x360 werecently took a look atrunning Ryzen Mobile, as wellas the Dell XPS 15 2-in-1.Now, these are fairlythin and light laptops.Now, they do have 15-inch displays.When you consider that they have the CPUand the GPU all inside a 65-watt TDP,they don't have to be all that thickand they don't need to haveany kind of crazy cooling.It's all going to be on one chip,which means that fora lot of these things,they can actually bepretty close to Ultrabooks.Of course, being much, much powerful.Now, we'll have to waituntil I actually getone of these laptops and to test,but if you do want a sneakpeek at the performance,I recently did do a video onthe new Hades Canyon Intel NUC,which was going to be alittle bit more powerful,does have that same chip inside.There were ton of otherprocessors announced as well.So, on the mainstream side,the U-Series processors thatgo in a ton of Ultrabooksare going to be gettingIris Plus Graphics.So, while these are going tobe almost definitely foundin things like thenext-generation 13-inch MacBook,it's going to be reallynice to be able to havea fairly thin and small laptopthat can have, not onlyquad-core processors,but also pretty decentintegrated graphics.Nothing crazy,certainly not going totouch the Radeon stuff,but it should be a nice step forward.What's really exciting thoughare the brand new gaming laptops chips.So, these are the H-Series processorsand at 45 watts, it's what you findin pretty much any gaming laptop,as well as some workstations.So, there's a big change across the board.First of all, the Core i5'sare basically being bumped upto what you used to beable to get as a Core i7.So they're still going to be quad-corebut they now have hyperthreading.So, if you have a oldergeneration Core i7,the low-ends now is goingto be roughly equivalent.The real sweet spot thoughare going to be the brandnew 8th Generation Core i7's,which just like the desktop,are moving from four cores to six cores.And yes, having sixcores in a gaming laptopis going to be awesome,especially concerningthat they keep that same 45-watt TDP.It's literally just more free performance.The only little place you lostout here is with clock speed.So with the base Core i7-8750H,when you're completely maxingit out with all six cores,the base clock is onlygoing to be 2.2 gigahertz.However, it can't boost allthe way up to 4.2 gigahertz,so that will be a lot closerto that for the most part.If you step up to thehigher end Core i7-8850H,these numbers are a lot,that guy's going to be ableto run at 2.6 gigahertz baseor 4.3 gigahertz boost.On top of that, that 8850Hdoes have some slightoverclocking capabilities,so depending on whether the laptop OEMwill actually allow you to do it or not,it can, in theory, be boostedby another 400 megahertz.What I'm really excitedto get my hands on thoughis that brand new IntelCore i9 laptop chip.So this essentially buildson what you're gettingon the Core i7 with the six-core design,but cranks up everything to 11.The i9-8950HK has that samesix-core hyperthreading design as the i7.However, it bumps up the clockspeeds to 2.9 gigahertz baseand especially withtheir new velocity boost,which will allow aneven higher turbo clock,assuming that you're going to befairly cool on the processor,you can get up to 4.8gigahertz out of the Core i9.Even better is that'sgoing to be overclockable.So, I feel like it's goingto be only a matter of timebefore we start seeing laptopswith a six-corefive-gigahertz-plus processor.Intel had a few of theseCore i9 systems set upand to be fair, they'reall very, very thick.A lot of that is because theyall had a GTX 1080 inside,which as you will probably knowis not exactly going to bethe easiest thing to cool.However, you don't actuallyneed dual power suppliesfor the Core i9 as it is stillgoing to be a 45-watt chip,at least until you start overclocking.All these processors should begoing on sale pretty shortlybut I've got to say,I am really excited forthe new i7's and i9's.Having six-cores in a laptopis going to be a legit game changer.But I'm curious, which of these processorsdo you think will makeit into your next laptop?Let me know in the comments belowand I will catch you in the next one.
