Intel launches 11th-gen Tiger Lake-H CPUs for gaming notebooks
Just a few short months after Intel launched the 11th-gen Core H35-series microprocessors for mobile gaming, Intel is at it again. Last month, it officially launched the 11th-gen Core ‘Tiger Lake’ H-series processors for mainstream and gaming laptops.
The product line includes five new processors, including the premium, unlocked Core i9-11980HK, the Core i7-11800H and a pair of Core i5 processors. Quad-core processors have disappeared from the line-up. Instead, the new chips include hyperthreaded six‑core and eight-core processors, offering double the cores of the 11th-gen Tiger Lake cores Intel launched in September.
Versus 2020’s 10th-gen Core mobile gaming chips, base core clock frequencies are slightly up across the board. The maximum single-core boost clock has dipped, though – possibly a black mark for gamers. However, Intel is once again publishing its all-core turbo speeds, and they’re substantial. Supported memory speeds have climbed from DDR4-2933 to DDR4-3200. Power has dropped, too: virtually all the new processors are rated at
