Core i7-8850H Details

For users seeking a high-performance mobile processor with strong single-core performance and capable integrated graphics, the Intel Core i7-8850H stands out as a well-rounded option from the Coffee Lake-H generation. Launched in April 2018, this mobile CPU remains relevant for general productivity and light creative work, though it is now considered an older device as of early 2026. Built on Intel's 14 nm process, the Core i7-8850H features a 6-core, 12-thread design with a base frequency of 2.6 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of 4.3 GHz, leveraging Intel's Hyper-Threading technology to deliver efficient multi-threaded performance.

The processor operates at a standard TDP of 45 W, with a downclocked variant at 35 W, making it suitable for high-end laptops where thermal and power constraints are balanced against performance. It supports DDR4-2666 and LPDDR3-2133 memory across two channels, enabling a maximum memory bandwidth of 39.74 GiB/s. With 9 MiB of L3 cache and a 1.5 MiB L2 cache, the chip delivers fast data access, while its 149 mm² die area reflects the complexity of its integrated design.

Intel’s UHD Graphics 630, included with the i7-8850H, provides a solid foundation for basic multimedia tasks and light gaming, offering a base frequency of 350 MHz and a burst frequency of up to 1150 MHz. It supports up to three displays and integrates well with Intel’s virtualization technologies, including Intel VT-x, VT-d, and Intel vPro, making it suitable for business and enterprise environments.

In benchmark testing, the Core i7-8850H achieves a single-core score of 5626, placing it at #472 among 2060 processors, and a multicore score of 5013, ranking #633 of 2060. Its overall score of 5381 lands it at #566, indicating strong performance relative to other mobile processors of its era. While it trails behind modern high-end CPUs like the Core Ultra 9 285K or Ryzen 9 9950X3D, it remains competitive against many mainstream and older-generation mobile processors.

The i7-8850H supports a wide range of modern features, including AVX, AVX2, AES-NI, and Intel Turbo Boost 2.0, enabling efficient execution of modern applications and encryption tasks. It also includes Intel Speed Shift and Enhanced SpeedStep for dynamic power management. However, the lack of AVX-512 and newer technologies like DL Boost limits its appeal for next-gen AI or deep learning workloads.

As of March 2026, the Core i7-8850H is best suited for users who prioritize performance in content creation, software development, or multitasking on laptops with adequate cooling. While it no longer leads the market, its combination of six cores, high clock speeds, and integrated graphics makes it a reliable choice for those maintaining older systems or seeking a capable mobile processor at a reasonable price point.
