CES 2020: Intel’s Upcoming H-series Core i7 Will Surpass 5GHz
Jan. 6, 2020That’s a pretty bold claim to make, and it’s noteworthy that thecompany’s 9th-gen Intel Core i9-9980K maxes out at 5GHzbut doesn’t surpass it. It’s also fairly impressive that the company isgoing to surpass the 5GHz speed on its i7 chip, not on the flagship Core i9which means that the H-series Core i9 processor will be even more powerful since it’ll have clock speeds higher than its Core i7 counterpart.
The company has reportedly also said that the H-series processors will improve how workloads scale across eight cores, which means we can expect multi-core performance improvements as well.
Intel hasn’t given out any more details about the upcoming H-series processors in its 10th-generation lineup, but this statement is exciting nevertheless. As competition fromAMD’s Ryzenline-upincreases, Intel does need to pull a few tricks out its sleeve to ensure it doesn’t lose out on the lead it has over AMD in the processor game so far.
