InteL core i7 8750h VS 9750H

[DarkDragon2K04]

So of course the 9750H is more powerful than the 8750H but I am questioned if the extra price asked for this machine is worth it mostly with the price of the 8750H machines dropping and most manufacturers made little to no other tweaks in the machines that they upgraded from the 8750H to 9750H

we dont even know the machine you're talking about, so no opinion.

You could reference a blade, alienware m15, asus ROG laptop, msi gs65

they are both IDENTICAL

because in 90% of the cases of laptops, the cpu will not reach full turbo because of thermal limits. do not pay extra. you will not gain anything. 

at most, you will get 3fps more in games.

Not necessarily.  Some of the manufacturers that you mentioned use turbo power limits or thermal throttling which can prevent either of these CPUs from reaching their full potential.  Do lots of research before buying anything.  Intel specifies a 100°C thermal throttling limit but manufacturers can lower this to whatever they like.  Same goes for the power limits.  That means an 8750H in one laptop can perform completely different compared to the exact same CPU in a different laptop.

 

Some of the ones built on the Tongfang chassis have unlocked power limits so they can be fully adjusted.  They also have better than average cooling and are user friendly when it comes time to replace the thermal paste.

I bought a first gen alienware m15 i7-8750/1070 max-q then the next month they released the same laptop but with an i7-9750/rtx 2060. They don't have any information on if you can switch the motherboards for the upgrade. But they look exactly the same, can you switch them?

No, the 9750H is an 8750H with a few more MHz clock speed and 3MB more cache, which makes ZERO difference (unless you have a beefy cooling solution on your laptop) because of how power hungry these CPUs are
