With that, Intel’s low-power mobile chipshave finally transitionedfrom a dual-core to quad-core design for the first time.
This is in stark contrast to 7thgen products, which all used the Kaby Lake architectures.
All Kaby Lake-R parts support LPDDR3 and DDR4 memory, with DDR4 support increasing from DDR4-2133 to DDR4-2400.
L3 cache is also up from 4MB to 8MB.
The i7-8550U is now $409, up $16 from $393.
