Intel has officially announced the 9th generation H-series 45 W processors today with several new features and performance improvements. Leading the stack is the Core i9-9980HK and the Core i9-9980H that sport an 8C/16T configuration with 16 MB L3 cache. The 9980HK is the only unlocked variant and can boost up to 5 GHz thanks to Intel's Thermal Velocity Boost. Preliminary performance results appear to show significantly improved multi-core performance compared to the 8th generation Coffee Lake CPUs. The 9th gen CFL-H Refresh CPUs will soon be seen in most gaming and content creation laptops from all major OEMs.

But still not Meldown or Spectre proof ?
8/16 on a laptop? With an iGPU? Shintel, you're in :D
(Though the 45W tag is bollocks unless you agree to deal with aggressive throttling. It's just Shintel being faithful to its standard practices xD)

Intel specifies TDP for only the base clock. Boost TDP varies and we've seen that during our testing as well.
Understood, and thank you for the brilliant article :)
