Intel Core i7-10750H
Comet Lake-H refresh announced April 2020, keeping six cores and twelve threads but pushing the boost clock to 5.0GHz via Thermal Velocity Boost. It offered a measurable single- and multi-core uplift over the 8th/9th gen chips it replaced in mainstream gaming laptops.
Pros
- 5.0GHz boost clock via Thermal Velocity Boost, up from 4.5GHz on the i7-9750H
- DDR4-2933 memory support, faster than the previous DDR4-2666 limit
- In review testing, PassMark and Geekbench scores run roughly 7-8% ahead of the i7-9750H's
- Supports up to 128GB of RAM
- Used across a wide range of 2020 gaming laptops, including the MSI GF65
Cons
- Still a 14nm, six-core design with no efficiency cores, a fourth straight generation on the same node
- Intel UHD Graphics iGPU remains unsuitable for real gaming, useful only for light or older titles
- 45W TDP and high boost clocks mean thermal throttling in thinner chassis
