Is the cpu 8th gen? null

The i7-8750H is 8th Gen Intel Core. While the stated clock speed looks "slower" than the older revision quad-core Core-i7 that was available on the Legion Y520, the 8750H is, in fact, a faster and much more capable CPU. Think of the *hexa-core* 8750H as being a baby XEON CPU. More cores, threads and higher sustained single and multi-threaded compute speeds than the previous i7-s. Even more important, the 8750H is fully *hardware patched* against the "Meltdown" vulnerability and partially hardware patched against "Spectre." Previous revisions of Intel CPU-s require UEFI/BIOS and OS mitigations to protect against Meltdown and Spectre. The early firmware/software patches caused a lot of system instabilities. Even after the crash-bugs were wrung out over time, firmware/software CPU patches still reduce overall CPU performance. The 8750H fully supports Intel-VT and Intel-SGX extensions (even though the Y530 does not report them at the OS level). You enable VT and/or SGX in the UEFI setup; the corresponding Win10 services (Hyper-V, SoftwareGuard) will discover what you've enabled.
