Thanks Ian! Two questions: I assume the maximum turbo frequency is for a single core. Any words from Intel on sustainable all-core turbo? Also, I noted the absence of any newer generation Core-M. Has Intel abandoned that concept?
It's been a couple of years since Intel stopped officially listing n-core turbo speeds in spec sheets. Doubt it's coming back, despite the fact that this can be checked very easily by anyone with a chip in a working system.
Certainly takes some getting your head around the naming coventions again, many people still have it in their mind that i7=best when in fact an i5 or i3 will often be more than adequate for their needs. Atleast the desktop and mobile naming is starting to come together and serious news that we have gone from 4 core to 8 cores on both lower end desktop CPU's and mobile in no time at all! By the way any mention of Xeons mobile or desktop, usually these are very similar but with some frequency differences + ECC support but last time there were also some unique 4core/8thread options presumably to get around the need for a more expensive Microsoft Windows 10 Pro for Workstations 6 cores Plus license.
"Intel hasn’t reached out to us about reviewing any of these new processors, so if you have any thoughts of what parts you want to see tested, please let us know."
I'd be curious to see the i7-9700 non-K get tested, but only to see what TDP it will end up running at boost clocks. Will a non-overclockable SKU have a reasonable TDP, or will motherboard OEMs find a way to muck that up too?
I wondering with this series, that some of i7 series laptop chips will out performed some of desktop i7's. That would be interesting test at least in CPU market - possibly even in GPU market with NVidia new mobile GPU.
The H-series has lower TDPs, though, so they probably won't hold those high clock speeds long. I have a laptop with an 8250, and if you open the CPU, it will drop down to close to the base speed pretty fast. 45W will obviously last longer, but the same principle applies.
Hang on a sec, I need to enter my Personal Identification Number number into an Automated Teller Machine machine in order to get some cash to buy a Desk Top Replacement replacement.

The Y series are likely Ice Lake processors on Sunny Core and Gen 11 graphics coming this fall .Valantar - Wednesday, April 24, 2019 - link

Those are some talented marketing guys who can draw up new slides for cpus with a 100mhz bump.RU482 - Tuesday, April 23, 2019 - link
half ass effort by Intel....no embedded 9th gen CPUs...wtfHStewart - Tuesday, April 23, 2019 - link
