![]() Cinebench R15 clearly shows that boost speed can pay off. ![]() Okay, what’s really going on here? Well, if you look at the detailed specs in the Intel ARK chart (or click this to see them) you can see that the new Core i7-8550U has a higher turbo boost speed of 4GHz, compared to the 3.8GHz boost speed of the Core i7-7700HQ. You’d think it would be the Core i7-7700HQ in the newest XPS 15, but no, it’s the new Core i7-8550U in the XPS 13. IDGĭayum: Look at that 8th-gen quad-core CPU hanging so close to its beefier 7th-gen predecessor.Ĭinebench R15 also allows us to test performance of the application in single-threaded tasks, so we threw the switch and ran all five laptops through the same task. What does this mean? It simply means, dayum: Intel’s new 8th gen is fast. Anyone who thought Intel couldn’t pull off a quad-core in a 2.5-pound laptop has to eat their wordss as the Core i7-8550U simply destroys the 7th-gen Core i7 dual-core CPU, and for the most part hangs surprisingly well with the much hotter 45-watt quad-core chips in the two XPS 15 laptops.
