Intel Core i7-8709G

4C/8T · 4.1 GHz · 100 W

A Kaby Lake-G processor, one of the short-lived Intel parts that place an Intel CPU die and a semi-custom AMD Radeon RX Vega M graphics die on a single package, linked by an on-package PCI Express connection, with the graphics die reaching its HBM2 memory through an embedded multi-die interconnect bridge. This model carries the faster of the two Radeon RX Vega M options, the GH variant, which has more compute units and higher clocks than the GL parts used elsewhere in the family.
