Core i7-8709G is a 64-bit quad-core high-end performance x86 mobile microprocessor introduced by Intel in early 2018. This processor, which is based on the Kaby Lake microarchitecture, is manufactured on Intel's improved 14nm+ process. The i7-8709G operates at 3.1 GHz with a TDP of 100 W and with a Turbo Boost frequency of up to 4.1 GHz. This MPU supports up to 64 GiB of dual-channel DDR4-2400 memory and incorporates Intel's HD Graphics 630 IGP operating at 350 MHz with a burst frequency of 1.1 GHz. Additionally, this processor also incorporates a discrete Radeon RX Vega M GH GPU operating at up to 1.19 GHz with its own 4 GiB of high-bandwidth memory operating at 800 MHz.

Preliminary Data! Information presented in this article deal with a microprocessor or chip that was recently announced or leaked, thus missing information regarding its features and exact specification. Information may be incomplete and can change by final release.

Cache

Main article: Kaby Lake § Cache

[Edit/Modify Cache Info]

Cache Organization Cache is a hardware component containing a relatively small and extremely fast memory designed to speed up the performance of a CPU by preparing ahead of time the data it needs to read from a relatively slower medium such as main memory. The organization and amount of cache can have a large impact on the performance, power consumption, die size, and consequently cost of the IC. Cache is specified by its size, number of sets, associativity, block size, sub-block size, and fetch and write-back policies. Note: All units are in kibibytes and mebibytes.
