Intel Core i9-10980HK and NVIDIA RTX 2080 SUPER Mobile spotted on Geekbench

The market for high-end gaming notebooks could soon offer interesting news to fans of the sector, this is what the database suggests Geekbench which in one fell swoop reveals the arrival (or at least the existence) of two new top-of-the-range CPU and GPU solutions: let's talk about the processor Intel Core i9-10980HK and the graphics card GeForce RTX 2080 Super Mobile.

Let's start from GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Mobile, a GPU that doesn't really represent a surprise as it already does spotted online last November along with four other mobile RTX models not yet presented. Going back to the data leaked by Geekbench, we find confirmation that the GPU of the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Mobile is equipped with 48 SM (3072 Cuda Core); this is an optimized variant for notebooks with Max-Q Design which is detected with a frequency of 1.23 GHz (to be confirmed) and supported by 8GB of GDDR6 memory probably on a 256-bit bus. At the moment there is no official confirmation but the TDP should be 80 watts.

Here are the probable specifications of the new GeForce RTX 2080 Super Max-Q Design:

GPU Turing TU104
48SM
3072 Cuda Core
Frequency 1.23 GHz?
8GB GDDR6 memory
256bit memory bus
Memory speed 14 Gbps?
TDP 80W

L'Intel Core i9-10980HK instead it will be the new top of the range for the mobile segment belonging to the Comet Lake-H line, a clear answer to the Ryzen 4000 presented by AMD at CES 2020. This processor offers 8 cores with Hyper-Threading (16 logical threads) and with a TDP of 45W it should allow one Boost frequency up to 5 GHz. Reiterating that the frequency data may not be entirely correct, the Core i9-10980HK should guarantee a base frequency of 3.1 GHz, a clear leap forward compared to 2.4 GHz of the current Core i9-9980HK, top range of the Coffee Lake line.

Let's summarize what could be the characteristics of the Intel Core i9-10980HK:
