What the Core i7-8750H is
The Core i7-8750H brings six cores with Hyper-Threading to performance laptops. It launched in April 2018 with a 2.2 GHz base and up to 4.1 GHz boost at 45 W. Intel positions it as the volume six core for gaming notebooks.
Nine megabytes of Smart Cache feed multitasking across twelve threads, not 12 MB as some lists show, and this page uses the manufacturer 9 MB value. The modest base stretches battery on the go. Boost to 4.1 GHz lifts single thread bursts in creative apps.
UHD Graphics 630 up to 1100 MHz cover displays without discrete cards. The process is 14 nm. DDR4 in two channels suits gaming bodies.
Socket and motherboard compatibility
The 8750H solders to BGA 1440 permanently. Gaming makers tune 45 W with dual fan cooling. There is no socketed path.
Memory is DDR4 in two channels up to 64 GB. Dual channel operation aids integrated graphics where used. The How to find your CPU socket type guide confirms FCBGA1440.
Other BGA 1440 six core parts need stronger cooling on different boards. Laptop replacement is required for more speed.
Memory, PCIe and cooling
DDR4 in two channels up to 64 GB pairs with fast SSDs for gaming laptops. Start with 16 GB.
PCIe 3.0 with 16 lanes from the CPU feeds NVMe plus board devices. Most gaming laptops prioritize storage speed.
Dual fan 45 W cooling holds boost in ventilated bodies. No retail pattern exists.
Upgrade paths
Soldered BGA blocks upgrades. SSD expansion where slots allow extends gaming life.
Within BGA 1440, mobile six core parts with higher clocks offer more speed on the same package family where listed. Desktop six core parts on LGA 1151 suit towers.
Past BGA 1440 newer mobile generations need other sockets. The 8750H covers volume gaming laptops where six cores must travel.
