- Опубліковано 10 жов 2017
- Lisa Gade covers the new Intel 8th generation CPUs that are soon shipping for Ultrabooks. These are called Kaby Lake-R and double the number of CPU cores from previous Core i5 and i7 15 watt CPUs (UHD 620 graphics are basically unchanged from 7th gen). Intel claims they’re 40% faster- is that true? Is it time to upgrade your laptop? Lisa benchmarks them to find out.

she pure natural like nothing fake or inspired by other utubers she has her own style love it
It's why we love her. She's easily the best on YT.
How do I turn down the resolution on the information you’re displaying? My processor isn’t fast enough
Does the MX150 in the Pro 15 run any faster than the Mi Air, with the added thermal capacity? I think you can TDP up or down the chip to 15 and 25 watts?
I was asking myself the same question (8th vs. 7th) 5 mins ago and you’ve answered my question haha thanks!
hey I have a question. program called Throttlestop can completely remove throttling from low-powered cpu-s. Is it possible on the new gen cpu-s as well so it wouldn't drop frequency? and heat issues can be solved by undervolting. Therefore we're getting a perfect processor.
I love your no-nonsense, straight to the point, review. And it shows that you are a knowledgeable in this field compared to other UA-camrs! Subbed!
Hey Lisa, will you be doing a video on the updated HP Spectre x360 with the 8th gen cpu (and things like fingerprint reader etc)? :)
With the fluctuations in clock speed you have shown from the new chips does that make them less stable and therefore more unstable for live work such as producing music? Are they more or less powerful than previous Kaby Lake quad cores?
Does geekbench measure performance of cpus of laptops the same way as a cell phones? I am confused cause core i7 scored pretty close to apples A11 bionic.
Hi - Can I buy x280 with i5-7200u now, if it is cheaper? Or, it is not recommended to buy 7th gen processor laptops in 2019?
Do type of RAM affect the performance?
Most of i5 gen7 n above laptop used drr4...but some of the the i5 gen 8 laptop used drrl3 does it really leave any effect?
Love your style. Straight to the basics. Its really refreshing. Looking forward to your review on the new x1 extreme gen 2.
Hey Lisa! Many Thanks for your thoughts and statement! I've got a question tho: I really need a new "workstation" / good Notebook as I'm going to be a semiprofessional video editor - would you recommend to buy a Notebook with a I7-7700HQ NOW and get one of those discounts for the current 2017er notebooks? The thing is: I don't care about 5% less rendering time or so...- so I dont really need the new 8th generation, do I?
Many thanks Sören
Hello Lisa,
At 6:10min you are comparing two I5's(7th and 8th gen) and the I7 HQ. How would the I7/U 8th gen sit in this graph?
Thank you in advance!
A client of mine wanted sixth generation with speed of 2.4 and above but my supplier supplied offered 8th generation with speed of 1.5 but according to him (supplier) it can function same as the 6th generation with speed 2.4 am confuse here can you help me out. Thank You
thanks!! im currently on a second generation laptop - that is still going well as i put an SSD into it. only the fan noise is effecting me! and hte battery life is poor! shall i get the 8th gen - or shall i wait out until 10? will it be two more yaers before a tenth generation is out?
What do you think lanovo yoga tablets run on Intel I5 or i7 or above
Can you compare the i5 8250u to the i7 i8550u? seems like there is no practical reason to go for the 8550u if I can get comparible performance with 8250u.
im thinking about getting a laptop with an i7 6th gen 6600u cpu do you think the 6th gen is still worth it ?
Hi Lisa - How would the mobile 8th gen i7s with active cooling perform?
Excellent communication skills. Thank you for the time you took to make this video. Fours years later, i7 now features 12 cores. The i9, 16... Just wow.
Such a helpful video, thanks for explaining it to us in "plain speak". I have become a big fan of your reviews, and this little lesson on CPU's has finally given me what I need to choose a new laptop. You rock
So, I'm about to purchase a surface pro i7/16gb . When can we expect an 8th gen surface pro? Should I get a cheap one in the meantime or is it ok to buy it anyway? I'm looking for a good portable tool for illustration and art.
over a tight budget, and getting a main computer mainly for office work, programming and content creation, is 13" air still good over the pro version? Because I'm thinking about getting the new pro version but its weight and thickness kinda bummer 'cause i take my current laptop travel a lot..
...so is she saying that kaby lakeR is with upgrading to over kaby lake? Or will skkylake is just as good wit less power consumption? I'm so confused 😕
Great video. Got a question though. I purchased while back the HP 15-K178NR which has 4th gen Intel i7. I maxed it out in ram, added Samsung evo ssd and this baby flies. Been researching the new Intel but I'm constantly reading that the speed's no good. That it trickles from 1.6ghz on up while my HP doesn't do so. I still wanna purchase new one for backup. Is it true that the GHz go up and down? That it's not steady? That would not be acceptable if wanting to say for example, play games or do multiple task at once. Please respond when possible and keep up the good work.
well explained on the clockspeed changes on 8th gen... how does the Battery Performance will be if clockspeed is going switch to higher clockspeed for better performance?
Is going for a swift 3 8th gen 8250u i5 4gb ram better than going for dell xps 13 i7 5th gen 9343 8gb ram ?
Hey Lisa. I’m considering finally breaking down and getting an MacBook. I plan on going to grad school but I also need something that I can edit pictures and run adobe suite on. I’m thinking of going the returb route because I’m poor af right now lol. Anyway. Will an i5 (say MacBook Pro 13) with 8 gigs of ram handle all that?
Does it matter if I’m not using video editing programs or gaming?
I need a suggestion. Should I buy i5 or i7 laptop that will be used mainly for word processing, excel, powerpoint, and web browsing?
I'm about to a buy a new laptop and wanted to know if I should go with the i5 8th generation or the i7 7th generation?
i5 8250u and 1050 ti mobile can this run pubg on medium settings with a stable fps??
thank you so much for the informations, I was so confused, I think I would wait for your reviews on the 45 watt CPUs, thank you again 😁
hi greetings from nepal.
i am also planning to buy a gaming laptop, but getting confused between two selections: 1) i5-8400, gtx1060-6gb graphics ram, 256ssd+1tb with 16ram Vs
2) i7-8750,gtx1060-6gb but 128ssd +1tb but ram is just 8gb . price is same.,
i am a game lover and i also want to use vedio and audio editing app。。
so can you please help me tell which one should i go for?
thanks in advance 😊
Thanks for that. Now I can look for a video editing computer with some knowledge of what the numbers after I mean. Great presentation.
where ca i get that microphone ?
Best video on practical benchmark use cases. This is what I wanted to hear and see.
Such a wonderful review, what should I choose for power? I5 7300hq or i5-8250u ?
What about the battery life? Im thinking about LG gram15 which has intell i7 8th generation. But some people said that 8th generation may proved its performance, but also it has lower battery time then i7 7th generation cuz it doubled the real number of cpus. Can you tell me is it ok to buy 8th generation? I want longer battery life and lower fan sound. Which would better choice 7th gen or 8th??
Did they release the 8th HQ one yet? I wonder how much more improved that is from 7th HQ
Is there any chip-based update to the Commodore 64?
Great video. There is a lot of coverage on desktop chips, I'm glad you shared this info about the mobile ones 😊
Still rocking my i7-970 so I need to know if this might be the one to finally make me upgrade...
We need 5 minutes on your tech tee shirts!! I love em!
Does the be quiet pure rock cpu cooler works on i5 8400!
wait im confused, so should I get a 8th gen I7 or get a 7th gen I7???
lots of good info for a short duration video, you have my subscription :)
Is it worth upgrading my 8th gen i5 processer I have an R8 aurora
A women that knows what she is talking about, we need more like this in the world, once again great video :)
emudshit we need more of this in men and women. People in general yano 😂
I thought someone would say that, now imagined I said "finally a guy who knows what hes talking about, good job" it wouldn't sound sexist correct, so now tell me, why is it what i said has a sexist feel to it? its bcoz media ma dude, i stand by what i said ;)
emud you mean well, but the statement sounds sexist.. like if general women did not know what they talk about.
agreed, but im saying if you look at my example, people wouldn't say a thing if it was the other way around, i just like to rattle a few people to see the responses i get
that's some real shit
I have i5 8250u ,, how can I keep it on 3.4 ghz ??
Which one do you recommend between a i7 8th gen 1.80Ghz vs a i5 7th gen 2.60Ghz
Why did they added MX150 a lower end gpu on expensive laptop like HP ENVY 15-BP100 (Touch-x360)???
Lisa, thanks for doing the thing nobody else is apparently willing to do.
These are exactly the kind of reviews we need and I completely agree with everything you said, results are as I expected, but needed to make sure.
We still need the battery life tests in various situations, "coffee lake" vs. "coffee lake - R", under full load, idle load or something inbetween.
I'd also love to see gaming results on "coffee lake - R" 15W CPUs + nvidia gen10 GPUs, just how high we can go before CPUs start throttling.
Is i7 7700hq still better for gaming? with a 1050ti gpu
Thank you for the explaination. I'm wonderring why there are no models with the I7-8650U on the market (Europe). Are there any differences between the I7-8550U an 8650U except the sligthly increased clockspeed? Greetings from Vienna :-)
Enjoyed the watch, good information!
Not sure why this just popped up in my recommended feed...but I clicked and enjoyed. I was a little confused why Ryzen (Mobile) wasn't mentioned...then I realized this was release in October...so that makes more sense. Gained a subscriber!
Think the new Razer Blade Stealth with the i7 8500u is gonna be decent running more CPU-heavy games now?
Thanks for great quick up to date review, Lisa! 👍 Always ahead of the game.
Fabulous detailed comparison !! Thanks Lisa for breaking it down for us.
I’m lost. But I’m learning.
Thx. If I keep watching & take notes
I’ll learn. Just hope I don’t get obsolete.
Awesome content, I bought 2 8-th gen CPU laptops in 2018 because of this video.
My laptop has intel i7 4th gen .. is it worth buying new laptop with the new i7 ?
Great job as always Lisa, answered my question perfectly! ;)
A channel that actually provides useful, unbiased opinions and great suggestions for all tech has to offer.Thanks, appreciate your good work.
Thanks Lisa! I was totally confused by the new generations. Really excited to see the potential of 6 core gaming laptops next year.
Lisa says the word, I start browsing for a new laptop. I waited a long time for this, finally going to retire my Sony Duo 11 (Ivy bridge i7-3517u). Love your channel Lisa.
Would you agree that perhaps the added cores are not to boost performance but to use 2 dedicated cores for the added analytics used by Microsoft, Google, and the manufacturer of the computer?
Which will be Good BE002TX or BS145TU. *Hp*
How about the battery runtime Lisa?
When will we see these 6 core laptops?
What generation is a i5 2400 processor
please i just subscribed to your channel please help me which should I choose for gaming between hp 15 core i5 8250u 1.60-1.80ghz 8gbram or HP pavilion 15 core i5 7200u 12gb ram 2.5ghz - 2.7ghz
Which is better processor i5 7300hq or i5 8250u?
WHY DO YOU HAVE THE BEST T SHIRTS LISA? WHERE CAN I GET THEM? (yes, I thought that in my shouty voice)
What software that can Turbo boost your laptop cpu ?! Can anyone tell me ?!
Nice review. I would appreciate if you can do a review of mini-PCs. I would like to buy one with decent performance.
This is an amazing explanation. I feel like I just went to a college class. Thank you Lisa!!
Hey Lisa and fellow youtubers, would like to ask what a better choice between two laptops, (A) Dell 14 7000 7472 with a i7-8550U, 16gb ram, MX150 gpu, 14 inch screen at 1.65kg, or (B) Lenovo Yoga 720 with a i5-7300HQ 16gb ram, GTX1050m-2G gpu, 15.6 inch touch screen (digitizer) at 2.0 kg? I can get the dell for slightly cheaper, and I like the lighter weight and outlook, however the Lenovo has a full digitizer touch screen and also usb type c port that allows charging, even via power bank! My uses would include quite heavy video editing and gaming. The main thing putting me off the dell is mediocre battery life, as it's identical model the 7460 which has a 7th gen i5 reportedly has 3-6 hours battery life, so my next question is would the 8th gen icores in this same laptop mean a much battery life?
Justin Lim Yes, the 8th gen CPU's are more power efficient than 7th gen, hence the lower base clock.
Been thinking about upgrading my old Thinkpad W520, but really want to wait for 6-core 8th gen. Hope it's worth the wait.
You got a Xiaomi Notebook Air Pro in the video?
Omg. The T-Shirt is everything. For some reason I feel like Lisa is a very nice person to hang out with. And of course, this video is on point as per usual. 😎 I wish I could hug her right now. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
BEST! SHIRT! EVER!
2pointohhh yea come on. We need to know where does Lisa gets all the cool Tshirts!
If price < $1
It could have been better
If < 1 Ω
+billtang79 I've seen it on ThinkGeek. Years ago, when I used to look at ThinkGeek.
Never understood what's the signifigance of 1, though (outside of pure maths).
I think you spelled word "channel" wrong. One of very few channels that does proper laptop reviews without being obsessed with desktops so much, that they completely ignore innovations in the mobile market(like Linustechtips, it's like Kabylake R doesn't exist for them)
Are 8th Gen chips still vulnerable to Soectre and Meltdown?
Hi what about skatchbook pro photoshop lenovo ideapad 320 i5 8250 8gb ram price something like 650$
You're so cool. Thanks for doing this it's really helpful for those people who have no tech background !!!
Do you by any chance have some insight about the 8th gen 45 watt laptop processors?, I'm really interested in what are they going to be!
Hello Lisa,
Can't wait for your review of the new Xiaomi Laptop Pro ;)
Big thumbs up from Paris France.
What about Snapdragon processor for Laptops ?
The base clock speeds could probably improve with newer generation cpus. The 1st gen core i7 mobile quad cores were also sub 2ghz but with sandy bridge they already clocked them over 2ghz.
Can you do a gaming review of asus vivobook s15 one with i5 8250u
This was amazing, thank you so much!
Hello Lisa do you know if Lenovo is planning to lunch core i8 in Lenovo thinkpad yoga 370 because I have been waiting to upgrade my toshiba r630 4th gen 13 inch laptop. Any advise for my next laptop because I want to buy a good portable laptop ..
I meant 8th gen sorry misstype it
I would say probably not, but in the past CES which is in early January Lenovo announces there new Thinkpad lineup which I assume would include a new Yoga 370. Then, you could buy it in February or March. If you'd like one now, check out the Yoga 920. It's not a thinkpad but it's still a great laptop. Hope this helps.
Thanks alot !
You're welcome. I hope my info was helpful to you.
Where do you buy your shirts from??
great video, I recently decided to upgrade my gaming laptop from my old alien with an i7-2960XM and gtx 560m for a new i7 8700 and gtx 1070. Seems like a good time to get a nice bump for performance, this review just confirms it.
We need graphene computer chips, those would be friggin amazing
Lisa. I have been asking myself this question for so freaking long and now you've answered it all. On sites such as "userbenchmark", the 8650U is roughly the same speed as the 6600hq. I was like wtf that can't be right, right??? That's so OP. They are judging the CPU completely on their cores and peak clock speed, so yeah of course they look like the same CPU on paper. But they are missing the most important part: the U CPUs are 15W. They can reach that 4.2GHZ clockspeed, but they can't maintain that speed. I was so blown away by the Kaby-Lake-R cpu's at first and now I'm not nearlly as impressed. Still great CPUs, still U CPUS.
Thanks for the review that was insane.
xps15 i7 7th gen 32gig or xps15 i7 8th gen 16gig???
Can you review the new hp Spectre x360, I'm thinking of buying and I could use some tips
Frost Flyght expect bloatware
I bought two days ago x360 8th gen.... and love it .. when I first use OMG.... so hot... i was scare... but after update and very very good.... love it ...
Excellent explanation! Lisa keeps getting better because she’s a sharp, seasoned, analyst- journalist. She has stayed the course over time and her experience continues to deepen while having a broad range of tech issues to address. Keep up the good work!
