WTF. The Core i7-8700T is a desktop CPU with 6 / 12 cores/threads at 2.4-4.0 GHz at 35 W for 303 dollars.

The i7-8750H has the amount of cores and thread it is rated at 2.2-4.2 GHZ. But it's 45 W and 395 dollars. That's a lot of money and heat to pay for a paltry 5% speedup at the very top -- and let's not forget the non Turbo speed is 8% lower.




Ghz range != performance. Among other differences, the i7-8700T only has turbo on one core.


At least this article doesn't say anything about that. In fact, it presumes all cores have turbo (which would make sense): At the peak turbo of 4.0 GHz, or for all-cores somewhere in the middle (again, Intel won’t specify), the power will obviously be higher.

Later they do some "sleuthing" to quote them and come up with this chart which again indicates turbo across all cores: https://images.anandtech.com/doci/12607/Turbos.png
