What is the processor and speed? null

The product page states: "8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-8550U mobile processor Ultra-low-voltage platform. Quad-core, eight-way processing provides maximum high-efficiency power to go. Intel Turbo Boost Technology delivers dynamic extra power when you need it." HP site goes on to describe: Intel® Core™ i7-8550U (1.8 GHz base frequency, up to 4 GHz with Intel® Turbo Boost Technology, 8 MB cache, 4 cores)

The processor is a latest generation i7-8550. You can see it has a base speed of 1.8 GHz but it throttles up to 4 GHz when solicited.I invite you to read about it at https://www.anandtech.com/show/11738/intel-launches-8th-generation-cpus-starting-with-kaby-lake-refresh-for-15w-mobile But more importantly it has twice the number of cores than the previous version and obliterates 2017 computers in real world performance not by a measly 10-15% but 50-80%. It is especially important if you use multi-core programs like Excel and have large spreadsheets.
