So I have a 6th gen i7 All-in-one PC, then last year I got the 7th gen Laptop, and now in 2018 I get the latest 8th gen HP again from currys pc world.
It comes with less RAM memory which makes this computer very slow. Windows updates and cleanup took around 110 hours. I had to double the memory to find an improvement, and have since swapped the slow HDD for SSD to which boot up is very quick.
The battery life has increased an extra 2 hours from 9 to 11+ hours.
Not bad for a laptop that has a Quad core processor with double the cache from 3 to 6MB.(specs below)
The 8th-Gen Core chips include Speed Shift technology. The technology allows a processor to more quickly settle on its best operating frequency, thus optimizing performance and efficiency.
This HP Notebook - 15-bs162sa come with the following specs:
The 8th Generation Intel® Core�„� processors redefine mainstream desktop PC performance with up to six cores for more processing power�€”that’s two more cores than the previous generation Intel® Core�„� processor family.
It is boasted the the latest Intel® processors, renders more vividly and beautifully with Laptops featuring a 4K screen or when you connect to a compatible 4K display.
Intel stated that the eighth generation would be based on multiple microarchitectures, including Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, and Cannonlake.
