Built on an evolved version of the 10-nanometer Willow Cove core microarchitecture found in existing Tiger Lake Cpus, these new H-series chips promise serious performance improvements that could blow AMD's latest Ryzen5000Cpu out of the water
This new H-series Tiger Lake processor has now been teased at ces and is now released in the wild
Intel has said it started shipping chips to Oems on 5/4, noting that many of its partners started pre-ordering on 5/11 and shipping to customers on 5/17 Partners that have signed up to offer laptops with these latest H-series chips include Acer, Dell, Lenovo, Razer, HP and Gigabyte These new H-Series 11th generation Tiger Lake Cpus come in Core i5 to Core i9 variants, all shipped with integrated Intel UHD graphics based on Intel's new Xe graphics architecture Pure speed is Intel's marketing focus on these chips, but the company says these Tiger Lake-H series Cpus are Thunderbolt 4 and Killer Wi-Fi6E (Gig+) focused on Intel's gaming
The heavy hitters in this chip group are Intel's new Core I9-11980HK, which is up to 5 on a single core 0GHz (using Intel's Turbo Boost Max tehcnology) or up to 45GHz on all cores
Intel claims that the Core i9-11980HK provides the world's fastest single-threaded performance on laptops, but it's more specific to the company's own in-house testing and competitors The production OEM systems offer better frame rates in games like FAR Cry New Dawn and Hitman9 than the Lenovo Legion R9900K with AMD RYZEN9000HX CPUs, and both systems claim to have Nvidia GeForce RTX3080GPU
The new Core I9-11900H chip has not been unlocked and has a slightly lower clock speed than its brother, but a slight step that offers very similar performance The new Tiger Lake-H series Core i7CPU (Core i7-11800H) features the same 8-core/16-thread design as the Core i9Cpu However, the clock speed is decreasing
Intel says it expects a maximum single-core clock speed of 46GHz and a multi-core maximum speed of 42GHz
At the bottom end of this chip family are 2 Tiger Lake-H series Core i5cpus, Core i5-11400H and Core i5-11260HBoth are hexacore chips with base clock speeds of 27GHz/26GHz, respectively, and Intel expects maximum single-core speeds of 45GHz/44GHz and maximum multi-core speeds of 41GHz/40GHz
All of these new chips come with 24MB of cache memory to store variants of the Core i5
In particular, all of these chips include Intel's latest integrated UHD graphics technology built on top of Intel's new Xe graphics architectureIntel has also introduced a new Core i9-11980HK CPU with some internal benchmarks against its 10th generation predecessor (Core i9-10980HK) Far Cry New Dawn had up to 5% more FPS, Hitman3 had 6% more FPS, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege had up to 11% more FPS The company also provided several internal benchmarks to evaluate the performance of the new top-line Tiger Lake-H CPU in the common content creation workflow
In a video editing workflow test using Adobe After Effects, Intel reported that the Core i9-11980HK CPU is up to 20% faster than its predecessor and up to 22% faster in a photo editing workflow test using Adobe Photoshop Elements If documents and spreadsheets are in the wheelhouse, Microsoft Office365 workflow test showed that the new Core i9-HK CPU is It has been proven that a system with a 11980HK CPU is 10% faster than a system with a 10980th generation Core I14HK
As these new Tiger Lake H-series Cpus enter the market, we should expect them to appear in more ultra-lightweight laptops, as Intel has stated that partners such as Acer, Lenovo, Dell, HP, Razer, MSI and ROG will start shipping notebooks with Tiger Lake H-series Cpus in the near future With these new Tiger Lake-H series chips, Intel seems to have raised the performance ceiling for the 11th generation laptop CpusThis is good news for those who like to play games on the go
These new chips also promise significant improvements for those who use laptops for video editing and other forms of CPU-intensive content creation, and feature higher clock speeds alongside Tiger Lake's PCIe40 and Thunderbolt4 support
What remains is whether real-world performance testing will support Intel's big claims about the performance features of these new Cpus, and we also want to see how they stack up with the latest AMD Ryzen Cpus, not to mention the apple M1 chip While the Apple M2 chip is being developed, the mobile CPU market is poised to heat up in 2021
