AMD is pressing hard, 10nm has been difficult to produce, Intel has indeed been a bit uncomfortable recently, but the strength of the x86 giant is not covered, although 14nm has been used for several years, but under repeated optimization, there is still great potential to dig.
On the 15W low-power mobile platform, Intel is currently Kaby Lake-U, Kaby Lake R-U, which has been upgraded to 4 cores and 8 threads, and the next generation product code Whiskey Lake-U The process continues to use 14nm, but the increase is a bit amazing.
The first is a 3DMark database. Core i7-8565U , detected as 4 core 8 threads, The base frequency is 2.0GHz (it is said to be 1.8GHz), and the turbo frequency acceleration is up to 4.6GHz. , set a record that is not too big.
To know, The current i7-8650U has a maximum acceleration of 4.2GHz, and the i7-8550U is 4.0GHz. This will increase the 600MHz, 400MHz, single-core performance will obviously have a significant leap.
SiSoftware database exposed a Core i5-8265U , also 4 core 8 threads, The highest acceleration frequency is 3.9GHz, and the current i5-8350U, i5-8250U maximum acceleration is only 3.6GHz, 3.4GHz.
The process is the same, the architecture is unchanged, the power consumption is constant, but the acceleration frequency can be increased so much. It seems that the legendary Performance improvement of 15-20% Very easy.
In addition, the Coffee Lake-S on the desktop will also usher in a large number of upgrades, but the strange thing is that some are named 9000 series, some are still 8000 series, if the former is into the nine generations of Core, it can be completely messed up.
