There're totally two i7 processors: i7-8750H, i7-8850H and first i9 processor on the mobile platform: i9-8950HK. i7-8750H will take the place of former i7-7700HQ and is expected as the model which will be adopted most in the market and i9-8950HK features more powerful spec than its predecessor i7-7820HK.
