Intel’s Ninth Generation Processor will Now Speed up the Laptops with a Max Speed of 5GHz

Last fall, Intel introduced its ninth generation Core processors, among which the i9-9900K chip for the CPU was the first to achieve the 5GHz. In the same line-up, Intel has just announced another series of the core processors, now for the high-end laptops.

The main attraction of this new series is the Core i9-9980HK processor, which will now be achieving the 5GHz speed for the notebooks and laptops, the highest speed to be achieved by a laptop processor. It features the base speed of 2.4 GHz and has got 16 MB of cache. The processors are having an eight-core/16-thread configuration, similar to its previous versions of the processors from the same series. It is shipped unlocked so that the enthusiasts who want to power up the process can easily overclock it.

All the six chips share a 45W TDP and are featuring the wifi 6, enabling it to provide as fast as 2.4 Gbps wifi speed for the laptops. These chips are based on the “Coffee Lake Refresh” (Coffee Lake-R) architecture and render the Intel’s Thermal Velocity Boost.

The chips also offer 28 per cent faster 4K video editing and deliver 2.1x faster framerates for gaming, streaming, and recording. The chips are also shipped with larger SSD storage, supporting the Intel‘s Optane Memory H10 module. Those chips are all about speed and likewise, open the large files 1.63x faster as well as load the games 2.29x than the older systems. The new chipset also has got support for up to 128GB of DDR4 RAM.

Compared to a three years old laptop processor, the Intel’s new 300 series laptop chipset has got more power and is obviously faster. So the ones who are looking forward to changing their, older than two or three years, laptops must go for the laptops with any of those new variations of Intel processors. The new chipset now will be available with the Acer, Asus, Dell, HP, Razer, Lenovo, and MSI laptops.
