Intel · Core i9 · 2018 · FCBGA1440
The Intel Core i9-8950HK is a mobile (laptop) processor with 6 cores, released in 2018. It is part of the Core i9 lineup, using the 8th Gen platform, and uses the FCBGA1440 package, which is soldered to the laptop's motherboard rather than socketed. Internally, it is built on the "Coffee Lake-H" architecture. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading, each core can handle two instruction streams simultaneously, yielding a total of 12 threads for improved parallelism. The Core i9-8950HK has a base clock of 2.9 GHz and can boost up to 4.8 GHz depending on workload and thermal headroom. Intel manufactures the "Coffee Lake-H" silicon on a 14 nm process node. This processor supports DDR4/LPDDR3 memory. With a base TDP of 45W the Core i9-8950HK is a higher power envelope aimed at performance, gaming and workstation laptops. Integrated graphics are provided by the UHD Graphics 630 solution, so a discrete GPU is not required for display output. The cache hierarchy includes 12MB of L3 cache.
