Core i7-8809G Details

The Intel Core i7-8809G stands out in the mobile processor landscape due to its unique hybrid architecture, combining Intel's Kaby Lake-G design with AMD's Radeon RX Vega M GH graphics. Launched in February 2018, this processor represents a rare collaboration between Intel and AMD, offering integrated graphics performance that was groundbreaking for its time. As of early 2026, the Core i7-8809G is considered a legacy device, with its 14 nm manufacturing process and 2018 release placing it well behind current generations, yet it still holds relevance in niche mobile workstations and enthusiast laptops where discrete GPU power is needed without a separate graphics card.

Featuring four cores and eight threads via Intel Hyper-Threading, the Core i7-8809G operates at a base frequency of 3.1 GHz and can boost up to 4.2 GHz on a single core, scaling down to 3.9 GHz when all four cores are active. This turbo frequency range enables strong performance in single-threaded applications, though the processor's 100 W TDP reflects its power-hungry design, making it suitable only for high-end laptops with robust cooling systems. The chip is built on the Kaby Lake microarchitecture and uses the BGA2270 package, which is soldered directly onto the motherboard, limiting upgrade potential.

Memory support includes DDR3L-1600 and DDR4-2400, with a maximum capacity of 64 GB and a dual-channel configuration enabling bandwidth up to 35.76 GB/s. The processor also supports HBM2 memory through its integrated GPU, a key differentiator that enhances graphics performance in compute-heavy workloads. Cache configuration includes 0.125 MiB of L1 data and instruction cache per core, 1 MiB of L2 cache, and a shared 8 MiB L3 cache, ensuring efficient data handling across cores.

The integrated graphics solution, Radeon RX Vega M GH, is one of the processor’s most notable features. With 24 execution units and a base frequency of 350 MHz, it can boost up to 1.1 GHz, delivering desktop-class GPU performance in a mobile form factor. This makes the i7-8809G ideal for content creation, light gaming, and AI workloads where high-performance integrated graphics are required. It supports up to three displays and includes advanced features like DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5, and OpenCL 2.0.

In benchmark testing, the Core i7-8809G achieves a single-core score of 5803, ranking it #358 among 2060 processors, and a multicore score of 4957, placing it #665. The overall score of 5465 positions it at #508, indicating solid performance for its era, though it falls significantly behind modern CPUs. While it outperforms many current low-power mobile chips, it trails behind top-tier desktop and mobile processors in both single- and multi-threaded tasks.

Given its age and niche market, the Core i7-8809G is best suited for users who require a powerful integrated GPU in a mobile platform and do not need the latest CPU advancements. It remains a compelling option for content creators, engineers, and gamers using older laptops that support this processor, though newer alternatives from Intel and AMD offer superior efficiency and performance in most scenarios.
