MSI announced the launch of its gaming laptops with Intel Coffee Lake-H CPUs, including MSI G65, MSI GS63, MSI GE63 Raider RGB, MSI GS73 and MSI GE73 Raider RGB.
As expected, all of them incorporate the new family of Intel 8th Generation Core i7 processors, which stands out for offering nothing less than 6 cores and 12 threads of processing that will add a huge performance improvement, especially for those users who love streaming or professional editing software, since the inclusion of additional cores helps to do everything simultaneously without loss of performance.
