CPU: 9th Gen Intel Core i9 9980HK

The 9th Gen Intel Core i9 9980HK is a high-end processor for Gaming laptops. The eight-core processor comes with 16 Threads and is based on the comet lake architecture. The 9th Gen Intel Core i9 9980HK has a base clock of 2.4 GHz and the clock speed can be turbo boosted to up to 5 GHz. Intel has specified a TDP of 45 watts, therefore the i9 is only suited for bulkier Gaming Laptops with good cooling solutions. 

Performance

The 9th Gen Intel Core i9 9980HK is around 15 percent to the 8th Gen Intel Core i9 9750H.

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Mobile

The RTX 2060 is based on a 12 nm manufacturing process with a TGP between 80 – 90 Watts. The 6 GB Graphics Card comes with a GDDR6 memory which is clocked at 14 GHz with a 192-bit memory interface that creates a bandwidth of 336 GB/s and comes packed with features such as DLSS ( Deep Learning Super Sampling ) and Ray tracing which creates more realistic lighting and shadow effects The RTX 2060 can be seen in both mid-range and high-end laptops and is a fast gaming graphics card. The RTX 2060 mobile is based on its desktop counterpart but with a 30 percent reduction in clock speeds and a 50 percent reduction in power consumption. The RTX 2060 Mobile performance is similar to that of the GTX 1070 Desktop variant and is just slightly better than the GTX 1660Ti Mobile. The RTX 2060 Mobile is best suited for Gaming at 1080p with ultra settings but we don’t recommend the use of ray tracing for most games.
