Ever for the reason that launch of the primary sequence of Intel Core 11th Generation Tiger Lake processors aimed on the ‘U-series’ 15 W market, Intel has teased us that there was one other design being produced within the wings. While the Tiger Lake-U was constructed for portability, battery life, and built-in graphics, the Tiger Lake-H sequence would double the cores, and be the accomplice for premium cellular gaming in addition to on-the-go muscle. Today is the launch of this new platform, and Intel is selling over 1 million Tiger Lake-H processors shipped to companions and 80 gadgets coming to market.
A Quick Recap: Intel Mobile Segmentation
For those that are unfamiliar with Intel’s cellular technique, it falls into a number of classes, normally designated by the letter. Over time Intel has been shifting round inside these classes to outline completely different design factors for end-user merchandise, however they’ve by and enormous stayed the identical. As follows:
| AnandTech | Main TDP |
TDP Range |
Info |
| Y-Series | – | 4-10 W | Novel small type issue Sustained battery life |
| U-Series | 15 W | 12-28 W | 10-14 inch ultraportable Usually reliant on built-in graphics. Some with discrete GPU for transportable gaming |
| H35-Series | 35 W | – | New for Tiger Lake. Not truly H, only a high-powered U. |
| H-Series | 45 W | 35-65+ W | 14-17 inch high-performance More cores, discrete graphics ‘transportable’ high-performance gaming Workstation/desktop replacements |
For the brand new eight-core Tiger Lake-H processors, Intel highlights three key markets:
- Essential: Paired with mid-range GPU, 1080p Gaming at 60 FPS, Medium/High Settings
- Thin Enthusiast: 15+ inch, sub-20 mm, Gaming at 1080p240 or 4K60 at Medium/High
- Halo Enthusiast: 15+ inch, Gaming at 1080p240 or 4K120 at High/Max Settings
The new H-series processors may even have corresponding vPro variations for business deployment, and Intel is saying that out of the 80+ designs at the moment utilizing the brand new 11th Gen Core Tiger Lake-H, about 15 of them shall be vPro targeted.
Tiger Lake-H (TGL-H) Processors on Offer
While customers may be accustomed to seeing a wide selection of Intel processors every differing by the smallest of margins, as we speak’s launch has solely 5 fashions for customers, and one other 5 for business methods. At the guts are Intel’s newest Willow Cove processor cores, with 1.25 MB of unique L2 cache, and as much as Three MB of shared L3 cache per core, together with Intel’s newest Xe-LP graphics. These all begin at six cores and twelve threads, and supply as much as 5.Zero GHz single-core turbo for the costliest fashions.

The most premium mannequin is the Core i9-11980HK, which seems to be extra akin to a desktop processor! Intel has the eight-core half rated at 2.6 GHz for 45 W, but in addition lists a base frequency of three.Three GHz for 65 W. What makes this processor particular in comparison with the others is that it may also be overclocked additional than 65 W in methods that enable it. Overclocking on laptops is normally a bit hit or miss, however that is truly the primary ever overclockable 10nm processor from Intel. That…
