CPU benchmarks
It’s no surprise that the newer Intel Core i9-10980HK took the win against the Intel Core i9-9980HK. We saw performance gains of 13% in Cinebench 15 and 6% in Photoshop. After all, it would be a shame if you have your older CPU perform better than your new one.
Results are from the Cinebench 20 CPU test (the higher the score, the better)
Results are from our Photoshop benchmark test (the lower the score, the better)
Conclusion
The newer Intel Core i9-10980HK is better than the Intel Core i9-9980HK by 13% in our 3D Rendering test with Cinebench 15 and 6% in 2D Rendering with Adobe Photoshop. That was to be expected since newer generations bring small improvements that, while some people might find negligible, contribute to the increased performance.
