Intel Announces New 11th Gen Tiger Lake Processors Coming To Laptops This Fall

Intel officially announced its first 11th generation Tiger Lake laptop processors, which will feature new integrated Xe graphics, Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 6 support and a big jump in performance and battery life over previous Ice Lake chips. The company says the new 11th generation lineup offers “the best processor for thin and light” laptops.

Intel is launching nine new 11th generation designs for both its U series (which Intel now calls UP3) and Y-class chips (also known as UP4), led by the Core i7-1185G7, which offer 3.0 base frequencies. GHz. , single core processor maximum acceleration up to 4.8GHz and maximum acceleration for all cores up to 4.3GHz. It is also equipped with the most powerful version of Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics with 96 CU and 1.35 GHz maximum graphics speed.

The company has already announced new chips for Architecture Day 2020 event earlier this year… The new 11th generation lineup is still built on a 10nm node, similar to the current 10th generation Ice Lake models, but is upgraded to the Willow Core architecture with a new “10nm SuperFin design” that Intel says will offer higher speeds with lower power consumption. …

Intel doesn’t detail exactly what the increase will be, but promises that the new chips will offer 20 percent faster speed for day-to-day “office productivity” tasks, along with a similar 20 percent increase in “system performance.” -level power ”, which means more than an extra hour of battery life for things like streaming video.

Intel is betting heavily on its new Xe integrated graphics, which it promises will offer twice the graphics performance and which Intel says will bring more substantial benefits than just an increase in core count (in this area, coincidentally, currently time AMD leads in.) A demo shown during Intel’s announcement showed the 11th generation chip to offer similar or better graphics performance than a 10th generation chip running concurrently with an Nvidia MX350 GPU. (Plus, you’ll need new Intel i5 or i7 chips to get Xe graphics – the Core i3 models for the U and Y series lineup will only offer Intel UHD graphics.)

Also new is support for 8K HDR displays, as well as the ability to use up to four 4K HDR displays simultaneously. There are also improvements to the built-in AI engine, which Intel says will offer certain improvements for video calling (like blurring the background) – tasks that ARM-based computers like the Surface Pro X previously excelled in…

Along with the new chips, Intel is introducing a new version of its Project Athena certification standard called “Intel Evo… “The Evo will have even higher demands, including ensuring your laptop offers more than nine hours of“ real use ”on a single charge (for 1080p systems), fast charging (four hours in 30 minutes), Wi-Fi. 6 and Thunderbolt 4, and the system will wake up in less than a second. The idea is that users should be able to expect a high quality car whenever they see the Evo logo, guaranteed. Intel says there are more than 20 Evo-validated projects due this year.

Expect to see new chips on a wide variety of systems in the coming days and weeks, with Intel promising over 150 designs featuring 11th Gen Intel Core processors from companies such as Acer, Asus, Dell, Dynabook, HP, Lenovo, LG, MSI. Razer and Samsung. The first of these products, for example Samsung Galaxy Book Flex 5G, Updated Swift 5 and Swift 3 from Acerand Latest ZenBooks from Asus, already announced, and the release dates are already this fall.
