Last year, Intel introduced the 12th generation for laptops at CES 2022 and delivered strong. Now Intel delivers again with a processor that can have up to 24 cores in a laptop.
The i9-13XX0HX series will offer a total of 24 cores, 8 of which are P-cores and 16 E-cores. According to Intel, the processors have a clock rate of up to 5.6GHz and outshine some other desktop CPUs. A graphics unit shouldn't be missing either, which offers a clock rate of up to 1.6 GHz.
At maximum load, the i9 series needs 157 watts, while idling it needs 55 watts, which is also quite a lot considering that the processor runs on a battery. The price for the new laptops are not known at this point. You can find a table of all 13th generation HX processors below:
