Often laptops come a little overclocked out of the box and have utilities that allow you to change various power targets and PL1 or PL2 limits. We then average together results from equivalent laptop configurations (not just one model) to provide a generalized look at performance from a given CPU. This means all systems have dual-channel memory, and all are configured to use the Intel default processor power configuration and settings unless otherwise noted. For all the results you'll see today, we've tried to remove as many variables as possible. Testing laptop hardware in an apples-to-apples configuration is challenging as each system is slightly different. The typing experience is nicer than we expected, so kudos to Gigabyte for choosing this. In making thin and light gaming laptops, one of the areas that tend to suffer is the keyboard, a lot of them are really junk, but this is a clicky, surprisingly satisfying switch for such a low profile design. This isn't a laptop review but we must mention the new Omron mechanical key switches on this laptop, they're really good.

The Aorus came equipped with a 1080p 240Hz display and 16GB of DDR4-2933, the new maximum RAM speed supported by 10th-gen parts. We'll be covering the GPU in a separate review, so make sure you check that out. In for review we have the Gigabyte Aorus 15G XB, which packs the Core i7-10875H in multiple power configurations alongside Nvidia's new RTX 2070 Super Max-Q. However with base clocks and power limits remaining the same, we'd expect long term clock speeds to be similar between processors, which we'll explore a bit later.īefore getting into the benchmarks, let's talk about the test conditions. In a nutshell, we're getting 200 to 300 MHz clock speed increases under turbo conditions with the 10875H compared to 9880H. Thermal Velocity Boost debuted in 9th-gen Core i9 processors including the 9880H, but Intel has tweaked the temperature thresholds and added it to the Core i7 line in this generation.Īs for all-core turbo frequencies, Intel lists this as 4.3 GHz for the 10875H, up from 4.1 GHz with the 9880H.

If the CPU isn't running nice and cool, the actual maximum turbo frequency tops out at 4.9 GHz.

Essentially this gives the processor 200 MHz of extra frequency when running below 65C, and 100 MHz when running below 85C. However this is only achievable with what Intel calls 'Thermal Velocity Boost'. Intel is now touting the chip's ability to push up to 5.1 GHz on a single-core (up from 4.8 GHz). The only changes have occurred in the boost specs. The listed specifications for the Core i7-10875H are very similar to the last-gen Core i9-9880H: we have a base clock of 2.3 GHz, 16 MB of 元 cache and a 45W TDP. Finally, the Core i5 range remains as quad cores. Intel has also reduced the Core i9 range down to just one 8 core chip with higher clocks than the i7 CPU. The rest of the Core i7 range offers six cores and twelve threads like with the previous generation. The inclusion of a new 8-core SKU in the Core i7 range means the Core i7-10875H brings an 8-core, 16-thread processor to a somewhat more mainstream market.

H-series parts offering 8 cores are not new, but with the 9th-gen family they were restricted to the Core i9 series which was only seen in very expensive notebooks. Indeed, five years after Skylake first launched, Intel is still pushing out 'new' CPUs with the same base architecture. There's no such split for these higher-power 45W chips in the H-series: Intel is only offering Comet Lake, which is their 14nm Skylake derivative. We saw a split into the confusing Comet Lake and Ice Lake U series, one on 14nm and one on 10nm. The first 10th-gen laptop parts launched many months ago in August 2019. This has been an interesting generation for Intel. Over the next few weeks and months we'll hopefully check out a range of other 10th-gen CPUs and doing all sorts of comparisons, including deeper dives into the new six-core part and how these chips fare for gaming. We'll compare it to previous products like the Core i9-9880H, Core i7-9750H and AMD's new Ryzen 9 4900HS to see how it stacks up for high-performance mobile productivity. Aimed at high-end productivity and gaming laptops, this review will comprehensively analyze the Core i7-10875H, which is the most interesting chip in the new series. Intel officially launched the 10th-gen Core Comet Lake H-series CPUs for high-performance laptops recently, but it's not until this week that we can discuss performance.
