Intel announces its new line of processors for laptops "Tiger Lake-H", and we bring you exclusively the specifications and features of this new line that will allow you to bring the latest blue wherever you go

The new Tiger Lake-H line will be based on the Willow Cove architecture, having an IPC increase of 19% compared to Comet Lake-H. It will also be manufactured at 10nm, being the first 10nm processors to reach frequencies above 5.0GHz, which shows the advances that Intel has been making with this new manufacturing node. Tiger Lake-H will also feature 20 PCIe Gen4 lanes to take full advantage of the GPU and a PCI-E 4.0 x4 SSD, and an additional 20 PCI-E 3.0 lanes for other peripherals. It will also have integrated graphics based on the Xe architecture, Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 6E, and a large number of new technologies that will allow great advantages over Comet Lake-H.

Processor	Cores / threads	Clock speed	Turbo (all cores)	Max. Turbo	L3 cache
Core i9-11980HK	8C / 16T	2.6GHz	4.5GHz	5.0GHz	24MB
Core i9-11900H	8C / 16T	2.5GHz	4.4GHz	4.9GHz	24MB
Core i7-11800H	8C / 16T	2.3GHz	4.2GHz	4.6GHz	24MB
Core i5-11400H	6C / 12T	2.7GHz	4.1GHz	4.5GHz	12MB
Core i5-11260H	6C / 12T	2.6GHz	4.0GHz	4.4GHz	12MB

As expected, the line will be led by the Core i9-11980HK, which will be fully unlocked for overclocking via XTU and tools from various manufacturers. The different Tiger Lake-H-based laptops will be accompanied by state-of-the-art discrete graphics, and in the high-end models we can even find 1080p panels of up to 360Hz or 4K panels of 120Hz, obtaining all the latest desktop technologies in portable PCs. Regarding the different models that we will find in the market, Intel will launch 5 models for consumers. The Core i9-11980HK will have 8 cores and 16 threads, a TDP of 65W, base frequency of 2.6GHz, maximum turbo of 4.5GHz in its 8 threads, and maximum turbo of 5.0GHz in a single thread, reaching a high performance when It is a model for laptops. Also, as we mentioned before, it will have an unlocked multiplier, allowing it to be overclocked even more.

The other Core i9 that we will find is the i9-11900H, which also has 8 cores and 16 threads, although it reduces its TDP to 35W by lowering its frequencies to 2.5GHz on the base frequency side, 4.4GHz on the boost side. multi-core, and 4.9GHz on the single-core boost side.

The other models that we will find are the Core i7-11800H with 8 cores and 16 threads and the i5-11400H and i5-11260H with 6 cores and 12 threads, offering proposals for all segments. Compared to Zen 3, the i5-11400H, which is one of the most economical models that Intel's new Tiger Lake-H line will have, will fight in games against the Ryzen 9 5900HS, which is the top model of the AMD line, for so we will not have to spend a large fortune on a model with a Core i9 if we want to get a good performance in games. If you were wondering what the prices of the laptops that will carry these products will be, we tell you that you can find inexpensive models from US $ 699 to US $ 999 on the mid-range side, as well as high-end models for the more demanding that will start from US $ 999, and in some cases will even exceed the barrier of US $ 1999. As anticipated, the Tiger Lake-H processors will be announced in exactly one week, on May 11, and that same day we will see the first models of the different manufacturers, so stay tuned if you were looking for a new laptop to work and/or play.
