Intel® Core™ i7-8809G

The Intel Core i7-8809G is a laptop processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, built on the Kaby Lake architecture (14 nm process). It launched in Jan 2018. Clocks run from 3.1 GHz base to 4.2 GHz boost. A 8-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 64 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA2270 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (8 lanes). Rated TDP is 100 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Core i7-8809G scores 2,371 in single-core performance and 8,458 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 4,478 for overall performance, 8,817 for productivity performance, 8,920 for creator performance, 8,141 for engineering performance and 9,228 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 2,115 per core, 1,057 per thread and 85 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 448. Its performance index is 55, so its overall performance is 45% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i7-8809G scores 26,577 in integer math, 16,461 in floating-point math, 115,743 in compression, 2,881 in cryptography, 638 in physics simulation, 7,543 in vector SIMD, 31 in the prime sieve and 14,987 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 55% below in integer math, 64% below in floating-point math, 49% below in compression, 75% below in cryptography, 41% below in physics simulation, 51% below in vector SIMD, 54% below in the prime sieve and 34% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i7-8809G has 4 physical cores and runs 8 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.10 GHz and boosts up to 4.20 GHz.

The Intel Core i7-8809G is a laptop processor, belongs to the Intel Core i7 family, uses the Kaby Lake architecture, carries the codename Kaby Lake G and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It launched in Jan 2018.

The Intel Core i7-8809G has 256 KB of L1 cache, 1 MB of L2 cache and 8 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 9.3 MB of cache, or 2.31 MB per core. Each core has 256 KB of private L2 cache.

The Intel Core i7-8809G has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 256 KB, L2 at 1 MB and L3 at 8 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 86% of the cache listed here.
