2.3-2.4 max sustained clocks. Wonder what the power draw will be for those boosts to 5.0

Yikes, those power bricks are gonna be gigantic and heavy. Also can't wait to see how bad these thermal throttle lmfao.

What type of cooling can we expect. Dell & Apple and many other manufacturers have failed to provide adequate cooling at the cost of CPU throttling when things run hot. Especially these days with thin laptops with 3 main heat sources inside being CPU GPU & battery (Charging & Discharging).

Apple failed even with aluminium chassis & cases. Dell dropped the ball with the Latitude e6540 Quad Core i7 with AMD Graphics they simply melted down. To many manufactures simply use the same cooling solution for an i7 rig. Using the same heat pipes & fan as they use for the i3 & i5 siblings.

If you want to use these for full on Gaming or Rendering you need 3rd party cooling to make sure you don't cook your new expensive rig.

Thanks for the article !

I wonder how much the flagship SKU might cost (the Core i9 9980HK) ? Can't overlook any heat/thermal issues though.

I would think that in a laptop environment that a 6 core processor will offer equivalent performance or better as it would not throttle as soon as an 8 core would & even when it does throttle it won't throttle as low. Most tasks performed on a laptop would benefit more from extra clock speed than extra cores.

Thanks for the article. I like it.

Don't get too excited. All that heat and power have to be dumped somewhere somehow, and yes, pay attention to throttling. Got disposable income to live on the breeding edge, go for it.

My first thought with any new Intel CPUs for now, particularly on 14nm, is can they supply them?
