Well, it’s Intel’s attempt to dampen AMD’s runaway success of their recently launched Zen 3 processors. Intel’s 11th Generation Core Tiger Lake-H Processor does offer support PCIE 4.0, Thunderbolt 4 and DDR4-3200 ram, as well as including their Iris Xe graphics.
Taken from TPU … Intel has launched its Tiger Lake-U lineup of products back in September, with the availability of the first products in October. The launched lineup was part of the “U” variant of ultra-portable devices that stretched only to four core, eight threaded configurations. However, given that the new competitor in mobile space, AMD, has a wide portfolio of offerings that are coming with up to 8C/16T variants, Intel needs a proper response to that. Despite having a better single-threaded performance, the multi-threaded capability of the Ryzen 4000 series is delivering better performance. Thanks to the popular hardware leaker, TUM APISAK, we have the first appearance of Intel’s 11th generation Tiger Lake-H processor.
Appearing in Userbenchmark, the processor was tested on a platform codenamed “Insyde TigerLake”. The processor was spotted running 8 cores and 16 threads, at the average frequency of 2.75 GHz. This is only an engineering sample, meaning that these clocks do not represent the final frequencies of the processor. As a reminder, Intel’s Tiger Lake CPU is a Willow Cove based design manufactured on Intel’s 10 nm SuperFin silicon node. We are yet to see the capabilities of the new node and how the chip performs once the reviews arrive.
