It has been a month since Intel’s eighth-generation Core Duo processor was released. Many games featuring the Core i7-8750H are already available.
But at the same time there are still many previous generation Core i7-7700HQ notebooks are still selling and the price is very attractive. Then the other configuration is the same, the game with these two processors to play the game to how much difference can be We did some comparative testing.
Processor specifications comparison
It can be seen that the i7-8750H has two physical cores compared to the i7-7700HQ, and has increased the frequency of 300MHz at the maximum Turbo frequency.
Reference product
In order to better compare the impact of the old and new CPUs on the game, we have found two games that have basically the same configuration except the CPU: the millet game and the mechanical revolution Z2. The specific configuration is as follows:
↑↑↑ ↑↑↑ millet game with the top version
↑↑↑ mechanical revolution deep sea ghost Z2 top version
Theoretical performance test
Let's first look at the theoretical performance test results of the two products:
In the CineBench R15 test, the Core i7-8750H multi-threaded performance has a performance advantage of nearly 50% compared to the i7-7700HQ, while the single-threaded upgrade is not obvious.
Game performance measured
In the game test, we chose the high-quality masterpiece "Tomb Raider 10" "Metro 2033" and the popular "Jade for survival", all tested at a resolution of 1920x1080. The first two models use the game to carry Benchmark benchmarks.
Jedi Survival uses the same game playback file for the same time to start recording frames in 100 seconds with Fraps at the same time.
Tomb Raider 10
Subway 2033
Jedi for survival
to sum up
Judging from the test results, in the actual game, the new generation of Core i7-8750H does not show the full advantage of the Core i7-7700HQ, but in the two works of "Tomb Raider 10" and "Metro 2033". To be slightly lower than Core i7-7700HQ performance.
In the "Jade for survival" optimized for 6 cores, the Core i7-8750H showed better performance, but the lead was very limited.
Therefore, we can conclude that the eighth-generation Core i7-8750H processor with an increased physical core does not significantly improve the performance of the game. The actual game performance is at the same level as the previous generation, and the actual game experience gap is limited.
Stronger theoretical performance will be more valuable in decompression, video transcoding and other areas.
