Intel Core i7-8750H
Intel's first six-core mobile Core i7, launched in April 2018 on the 14nm Coffee Lake-H platform. Six cores and twelve threads at 2.2-4.1GHz made it the default chip in 2018-2019 gaming laptops, before Intel ended servicing updates for it in mid-2025.
Pros
- Added two cores over the previous generation, moving to six cores and twelve threads in the same 45W envelope
- 4.1GHz boost clock keeps single-core work usable even years after launch
- Supports up to 64GB of DDR4-2666 or LPDDR3-2133 memory
- Part of Intel's first six-core mobile Core i7/i9 lineup, announced in April 2018
- Became the standard chip across 2018-2019 gaming laptops, from budget Dell G7 models to premium Razer Blades
Cons
- Intel UHD Graphics 630 iGPU is too weak for real gaming, scoring low in review testing
- 45W TDP needs solid cooling; thin chassis throttle it under sustained load
- Intel ended servicing and security updates for this chip on June 30, 2025
- No efficiency cores, so it trails newer budget chips in performance per watt
Awaiting benchmarks
No Inno Score yet: single-core still needs a published benchmark result.
