Intel: 9th generation processors bring amazing performance to desktops and notebooks

The 9th generation of processors from Intel is already a reality and promises high performance both for desktop computers, desktops, and notebooks, with products aimed at Gamers and for content creators with image editing.

In a press release, the company states that the new line of processors has technologies that accelerate the exchange of information over the Internet, as well as reading and writing data in solid state memory, SSD (acronym for Solid State Drive, loosely translated as “Solid Storage Disk”).

Six models of 9th generation processors for notebooks, called H line and that vary from the already widely known i5 ao i9. All of them have, in the model code, the number “9” at the beginning and the letter “H” at the end, being the i9-9980HK the most powerful model—something for consumers to keep an eye on when choosing the latest technology to buy.

9th Gen Intel Line Specifications for Notebooks

The new processors were designed to offer portability to those who want machines to enjoy games, as well as to those who use the notebook for video editing and streaming of content, all with high performance, according to Fredrik Hamberger, General Manager of the Premium and Gaming Laptop Segment at Intel.

“The 9th Gen platform was created to delight gamers, content creators and users who enjoy high performance by delivering exactly what they want. We bring the same performance as desktops up to 5 GHz and 8 cores in a range of thinner systems, not to mention a new level of connectivity provided by Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+). That way, users can play and create wherever they want.”

The technology Wi-Fi 6, cited by Frederick, allows for high-speed wireless connectivity, which is great for online gaming and simultaneous data transmission over the internet (streaming). The same goes for technology. Thunderbolt 3, which gives a wired connection speed upgrade.

Another technology present in the processors is the Intel Optane, which, when used together with compatible memories (SSD), allows an even greater increase in the opening of applications.

The new parts have up to eight cores and a cache of up to 16 MB, being comparable to desktops with processors up to 5.0 GHz. Such performance allows for a performance increase of up to 33% compared to desktops from three years ago — which is considerable when considering that these are notebooks.

desktop line

There is also 9th generation processors developed for desktop computers, in a total of 27 products. The new chips have four to eight cores, depending on the model, which can be i3, i5, i7 ou i9.

Also noteworthy is the support for DDR4 RAM memories. The processors support up to 64 GB of memory, which can run at a transfer speed of up to 2666 MT/s.

The wide variety of products allows the Intel Locate yourself in the market to please customers who need everything from computers for daily productivity to those who prefer bulky, high-performance machines.

Same performance-enhancing technologies found in notebook models — Wi-Fi 6, Thunderbolt 3 e Intel Optane — are present in the desktop versions. In addition, the processors allow significant gains in frame rate per second in electronic games and faster editing of 4K videos.

performance in images

In addition to the attention given to performance, the Intel also worried about making its processors from 9th generation were able to display high quality images.

Therefore, the company claims that the new chips support still images and videos in 4K quality with fluidity, in addition to HDR (High Dinamic Range, or “Large Dynamic Range”, in free translation), a technology that is already used on a large scale by televisions and video game consoles to represent brighter and more defined colors, both in the lightest and darkest areas, prevailing the black.

In addition, the line is capable of processing codecs modern with total fluidity, such as the HEVC 10-bit encode/decode e VP9 10-bit decode, used for streaming videos over the internet.

for demanding people

By way of comparison, the Intel ensures that the new model i9-9980HK has a 56% gain in frame rate per second compared to the model i7-6700HQ, released three years ago, in tests carried out with the game Total War: Warhammer II. Such performance is enough for a good performance in AAA games — as the games are called. blockbusters, that is, the biggest releases of the electronic games industry.

9th generation processors Intel have already been launched — on the 23rd of April — and some companies, such as Asus, Dell e Lenovo have already confirmed using them in notebooks manufactured by them, and should appear on the market soon.

As for the desktop models, it is now possible to buy them individually, with prices that go from R$2.600,00, for the model i9-9900k. Other models can be found at more affordable prices, such as the i5-9600K, which costs around R$1.330,00.
