At CES 2024, Intel officially announced three series of new processors, plus the previously launched new Core Ultra and 14th Gen Core K series, forming a complete new generation product family. Among them, the 14th generation Core HX series for high-end gaming laptops has attracted the attention of many ** and consumers with its amazing performance and innovative technology.
High frequency and high core, game performance increase by up to 51
The 14th Gen Core HX series is an upgraded version of the 13th Gen Core HX series, which basically continues the original design, architecture, and features, and the overall specifications have been improved, with the highest frequency reaching an unprecedented 58GHz, which is claimed to increase gaming performance by up to 17 and multitasking performance by up to 51.
The 14th Gen Core HX series uses Intel 7 manufacturing process, P+E hybrid architecture, and the CPU is still up to 8P+16E 24 cores and 32 threads, but the frequency is generally increased and overclocking is supported, among which more E cores and caches have been added to the i7 series. The CPU section offers 16 PCIe 50 lanes, 4 PCIe 40 channels, support DDR5-5600, DDR4-3200 memory, of which DDR5 capacity up to 192GB. The GPU core graphics card is still up to 32 units, and DP 1 is supported4、hdmi 2.1、edp 1.4a hbr3。
The flagship model is i9-14900HX, 8+16 24 cores, 36MB** cache, 32 units of core display unchanged, P core, E core turbo frequency came to 58ghz、4.1ghz。Compared with the previous generation flagship i9-13980HX, it has increased by 200MHz and 100MHz (the same benchmark), and if compared with the i9-13900HX P-core benchmark, the turbo frequency has increased by 100MHz and 400MHz respectively.
For the first time, Thunderbolt 5 and Wi-Fi 7 are supported, and the connection speed is blazing
For the first time, the 14th Gen Core HX series supports APO Smart Game Acceleration technology on mobile. In terms of platform connectivity, the next-generation Thunderbolt 5 has been added for the first time, doubling the bidirectional bandwidth to 80Gbps and up to 120Gbps bidirectional, and of course, it will continue to support Thunderbolt 4 40Gbps for connecting multiple 4K displays and peripherals.
It supports Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5 as standard3. You can also plug in a standalone NIC Killer 1750X, which supports Wi-Fi 7 (5 Gig) and Bluetooth 5 for the first time on Intel mobile platform4. It can achieve gigabit speed in more scenarios.
APO technology intelligently optimizes game performance
The APO (Application Optimizer) technology was introduced on the 14th Gen Core K series, but it only supports the i9-14900K KF, i7-14700K KF, and now it is coming to mobile for the first time, but it only supports the i9-14900HX, i7-14700HX, and not even the i7-14650HX.
Within the framework of Intel DTT (Dynamic Tuning) technology, APO technology combines AI technology with AI technology to make real-time decisions, allocate application resources, and maximize the performance potential of the processor based on factors such as system power supply, heat dissipation, temperature, and power consumption.
The first release of this technology only supports two games, "Rainbow Six: Siege" and "Metro: Departure", and the official claims to have the most performance improvement (in fact, more). Now six more have been added, namely F1 2022, Strange Squad, World War Z, Dust 5, World of Warcraft, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the last one can be upgraded by up to 4.
More than 60 notebook designs, major brands are on the battlefield
The Core HX series has won more than 60 notebook designs and is being released one after another, covering all major notebook brands: Acer, Alienware, Asus, Gigabyte, HP, Lenovo, MSI, Razer.
These notebooks not only have powerful performance, but also have the advantages of thinness, heat dissipation, battery life, display, etc., to meet the needs and preferences of different users. Whether it's playing games, creating content, or working and studying, you can enjoy a smooth, fast, and stable experience.
Summary
Intel's 14th Gen Core HX series is Intel's most powerful processor on mobile, bringing a new level of performance to gaming and creative laptops with its high-frequency, high-core, intelligent optimization, and fast connectivity. These processors will be available this year, giving consumers a sense of Intel's technical strength and innovation.
