Benchmarks: CPU
It is clear to see why the Core i7-8750H has become the chip of choice for high-performance gaming laptops. The six-core CPU can hit speeds of up to 4.1GHz, helping it top the single- and multi-threaded benchmark charts with relative ease.
You could argue that previous-generation parts haven't offered enough of an incentive to upgrade. Intel's 8th Gen chips break away from that period of stagnation and promises genuine performance improvements for those migrating from older hardware.
