Intel Core 9 270H
The Intel Core 9 270H is a Raptor Lake-H Refresh mobile processor in Intel's Core (Series 2) line, with 6 Performance cores and 8 Efficient cores (14 cores, 20 threads) and a 5.8 GHz maximum turbo. It is built on the Intel 7 process and has 24 MB of cache and 96 EU integrated graphics. Intel rates it at 45 W base and 115 W maximum turbo power.
Pros
- 14 cores and 20 threads from 6 Performance and 8 Efficient cores
- Up to 5.8 GHz Performance-core turbo frequency
- 24 MB Intel Smart Cache and support for up to 96 GB of DDR5, DDR4, LPDDR5/X or LPDDR4X memory
- PCIe 5.0 support from the processor
- About 2,774 Geekbench 6 single-core points in review testing of a laptop with this chip
Cons
- Raptor Lake cores on the Intel 7 process rather than a newer Core Ultra architecture
- Up to 115 W maximum turbo power against a 45 W base calls for capable cooling
- Published results come from one laptop whose review says conservative tuning holds back its CPU (about 11,755 Geekbench 6 multi-core points), so other laptops can score differently
