Intel has recently unveiled Tiger Lake-H 6 and 8-core processors

After the announcement of the 15-watt Tiger Lake processors for ultra-high-capacity devices and the 35-watt Tiger Lakes quad-core processor at CES 2021 in January, we have been waiting for the arrival of the 11th generation processors, but they are equipped with 6 and 8 cores. To compete with the AMD Ryzen 7 5000H series processors.

Hence, Intel Tiger Lake-H processors are available in Core i5, i7, and i9. They will equip laptops from 700 euros intended for use the games On Full HD displays with targeting at 60fps – which is particularly consistent with Nvidia’s target with GeForce RTX 3050 – but also on powerful and thin computers with Core i7 and Core i9 processors for content creators. Not to forget the computers of the the games High performance allows you to play in Full HD on 240Hz or 4K displays at 120Hz with detail set to maximum.

Up to 8 super-threaded 5 GHz cores

To catch up with AMD and Ryzen 5000s in the segment, Intel is equipping its 11th generation processors with a Willow Cove core engraved in 10nm SuperFin that can reach 5GHz, especially on the Core i9-11980HK. But the founder isn’t just betting on performance, as it has added Wi-Fi 6E with the Killer AX1650 chip, Thunderbolt 4 and bootable RAID 0 support.

The eleventh-generation line of consumer processors consists of five processors: two Core i5s (11260H and 1140H) with six cores with interlocking core frequencies of 2.6 and 2.7 GHz and up to 4.4 and 4.5 GHz respectively. Single Core i7 processor with 11800H, equipped with 8 interfering cores with a base frequency of 2.3 GHz and can reach 4.6 GHz. Finally, two Core i9s (11900H and 11980HK): the first is actually a Core i7-11800H with 200MHz on its base frequency and 300MHz on its maximum frequency. The Intel Core i9-11980HK is the leader in the range, with it coming up to 5GHz thanks to increased TDP to 65W and overclocking capability.

All of these processors are equipped with 32 Intel Iris Xe modules for their graphics, which is a relatively low number when we know that the Intel Core i7-1185G7 processor for ultra-fast mobile devices has 96 modules. Intel explains that it was virtually impossible to put more UE into Tiger Lake-H processors.

20% gain compared to the previous generation

Concretely, Intel is announcing performance gains of up to 20%, both during the game and under applications like image editing or coding, numbers that we will not fail to verify soon.

According to our first observations, we should find mainly three processors in laptops offered by manufacturers: Core i5-11400H (4C / 8T at 4.4 GHz), Core i7-11800H (6C / 12T at 4,6 GHz) and Core i9-11900H (6C / 12T 4.9 GHz). The 65W version with the Core i9-11980HK, despite its prominence by Intel, appears to be intended for the time being for premium devices that have yet to be revealed.
