Besides two cores, the processor is also equipped with the HD Graphics 620 GPU as well as a dual-channel memory controller (DDR3L-1600/DDR4-2400). It integrates 2 CPU cores with Hyper-Threading support clocked at 2.8 - 3.9 GHz (2 core Turbo also 3.9 GHz). The Intel Core i7-7600U is a fast dual-core processor for notebooks based on the Kaby Lake architecture and was announced in January 2017. Intel Core i7-7600U ► remove from comparison Depending on the usage scenario, the TDP can vary between 7.5 (cTDP Down) and 25 Watts. Intel still specifies the TDP with 15 Watts, which is typical for ULV chips. The chip is manufactured in an improved 14nm process with FinFET transistors (14nm+), the same as the 7th Gen Kaby Lake processors. The dual-core Kaby Lake processors announced in January should also support HDCP 2.2. With fast dual-channel memory it can reach the performance of a dedicated GeForce 920M.Ĭontrary to Skylake, Kaby lake now also supports H.265/HEVC Main 10 with a 10-bit color depth as well as Google's VP9 codec.

The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 (Intel Gen 9.5) is untouched from the 8th Gen Kaby Lake chips. Therefore, the older 35 Watt quad-core models should be faster in applications that demand longer CPU loads. Due to the reduced TDP and the same 14nm+ process, the long term performance and throttling behaviour will be interesting and depending on the laptop design. The manufacturer only reworked the Speed Shift technology for faster dynamic adjustments of voltages and clocks, and the improved 14nm process allows much higher frequencies combined with better efficiency than before.Īccording to Intel, the new quad core models are up to 40% faster than their dual core predecessors. Intel basically uses the same micro architecture compared to Skylake, so the per-MHz performance does not differ.

The integrated memory controller supports DDR4-2400 / LPDDR3-2133 and dual channel memory. The GPU is now named Intel UHD Graphics 620 but otherwise identical to the Intel HD Graphics 620. The Turbo Boost can go up to 3,6 GHz and therefore also offer good short term single core speeds. Contrary to its direct predecessor the Core i5-7300U, which were still dual-cores, the i7-8350U is equipped with four cores but at a lower base frequency of 1.7 GHz. The Intel Core i5-8350U is a power efficient quad-core SoC for notebooks and Ultrabooks based on the Kaby Lake Refresh generation and was announced in August 2017.
