Intel Core i7-8550U Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.00 GHz) Benchmark Results — All GPU Pairings Tested
Intel Core i7-8550U Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.00 GHz) has been stress-tested in 2 distinct GPU pairings from 70 verified browser samples, with a sample-weighted Sustained Health Score of 51.5/100 (grade C). The strongest measured pairing is Intel(R) UHD Graphics 620 at 52/100; the weakest is Intel(R) HD Graphics 400 at 46.5/100. Typical sustained-load decay is 0.3% with thermal health around 81/100.
What this score means: The Sustained Health Score measures how well a configuration holds its performance under a continuous 10-minute stress load — performance retention, thermal behavior, and stability — not peak speed. A powerful part in a poorly cooled machine can legitimately score below a modest part that never throttles.
