8550U vs 7700HQ - Laptop CPU Comparison and Benchmarks

Intel recently released their 8th generation of mobile Kaby Lake R CPUs, in this video I want to compare the features and performance differences between the newer 8550U and 7700HQ laptop chips with a series of benchmarks to find out which you should consider in your new laptop, or if it’s worth upgrading to.

Benchmarks I’ve tested include:
Adobe Premiere
Cinebench
7-Zip (compression/decompression)
VeraCrypt (AES encryption/decryption)
Handbrake (transcode 4K to 1080p, and 1080p to 720p)
PCMark10
Passmark9
Geekbench4
Corona 1.3
Dota 2

Gaming tests were limited, as we’re only testing built in graphics.
