At the same frequencies and   identical discrete graphics card, they are   41% more powerful in   video games and   on   59% are coping with   processing 4K-video .

A   thanks to reduced power consumption, they are much better dispersed (note: this is the process of increasing the processor clock speed). TO   example top Intel Core i9-8950HK with   6 cores runs on   frequency of 2.9 GHz, but   from   Using the utility Turbo Boost accelerates 4.8 GHz. 5 - 6 years ago it was   it would be easier to believe in   The existence of Chupacabras, rather than   such overclocking.

How much and   when to expect
