Intel Readies a Mobile 6-core "Coffee Lake-H" SKU, Suggests Geekbench Database
Intel is giving finishing touches to a mobile 8th generation Core i7 processor which features the full complement of 6 cores present on the "Coffee Lake-H" silicon. This is firmly a mobile SKU, and not desktop-on-mobile. According to specs put out in a Geekbench database entry, the processor features 6 cores, 12 threads (HyperThreading), 9 MB of L3 cache, and a nominal clock speed of 2.60 GHz.
Intel tends to keep the nominal clocks of its mobile processors low, while compensating with higher single-core or two-core Turbo Boost clocks. The processor in the Geekbench DB entry packs enough punch to dethrone desktop quad-core parts in multi-threaded scores, with a score of 19,129 points. The single-threaded score isn't groundbreaking at 4,013 points, but that's probably because of the low clock speeds and aggressive power-management inherent to mobile platforms.

I wonder if Intel is going to call it "HH" now. :wtf:
And keep in mind that the processor in that laptop is the only thing it has going for it, the RAM is slow, the storage speeds, even for the SSD are slow, has less battery life on idle than an 7820HK / 1080 Max-Q Alienware 15 does while gaming, it's ugly as hell, the graphics card is low-tier, it's horrible.
