Intel Launches Mobile Processors with Speeds Over 5 GHz

Intel launched 10th Gen Core H-series mobile processors that break 5 GHz barrier in mobile computing. The series is headlined by Core i9-10980HK model.

“Introduction of new Core H-series platform extends Intel’s gaming leadership, delivering desktop-caliber performance in a mobile form factor and breadth of choice with more than 100 laptop designs launching this year, including more than 30 thin-and-light systems. The new platform is optimized for enthusiasts and creators by delivering the fastest frequency in the industry with 5 GHz across the majority of the volume which will deliver amazing game play and rich creation for users,“ said Fredrik Hamberger, general manager of the premium and gaming laptop segments at Intel.

Gamers are moving increasingly toward mobile systems and they care about the flexibility of gaming where they want to as much as they do the raw performance of their systems, ranking processor speed in their top three most important features. 10th Gen Core laptop processors deliver faster performance with up to 5.3 GHz Turbo, eight cores and 16 threads.

At the top of the stack is the Core i9-10980HK, with up to 5.3 GHz Turbo, eight cores, 16 threads and 16MB of Smart Cache. Compared with a three-year-old system, the i9-10980HK delivers up to 54% more frames per second in gaming, Intel said. It also brings up to 44% better overall performance and up to two times faster 4K video rendering and export.

The 10th Gen Core i7-10750H processor with up to 5.0 GHz Turbo is purpose-built for enthusiast gamers and creators demanding optimized performance. The 10th Gen launch also introduced the new Core i7-10875H, featuring up to 5.1 GHz Turbo, eight cores and 16 threads.

Engineered in collaboration with leading PC manufacturers, more than 30 thin-and-light systems measuring 20 mm or less in thickness and 100 designs across consumer, commercial and workstation segments will launch this year. Intel also optimizes laptops with PC-makers to support the latest technologies, including integrated Wi-Fi 6, Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0​, Adaptix Dynamic Tuning Technology and Extreme Tuning Utility, Speed Optimizer, Thunderbolt 3 and Optane memory support.
