Intel Plans a Sizable 11th Gen Core "Tiger Lake-H" Mobile Processor Lineup

Intel's new 8-core "Tiger Lake" silicon will play a major role in holding the company's dominance in the mobile processor space, with plans for new 6-core and 8-core SKUs being in motion. OneRaichu on Twitter, a reliable source with Intel leaks, points to several unreleased model numbers. The 8-core "Tiger Lake-H" die is expected to be built on the same 10 nm SuperFin process as the "Tiger Lake-U" silicon. The lineup is led by the Core i9-11980HK, an 8-core/16-thread processor that uses eight "Willow Cove" CPU cores, 2.60 GHz nominal- and 5.00 GHz max-Turbo frequency, and 3.30 GHz AVX512 frequency. This chip will be in a class of its own, as its TDP is rated at 65 W, significantly above the 35-45 W TDP range that constitutes the H-segment. It will likely power large gaming notebooks with elaborate cooling solutions. It will also come with an unlocked base-clock multiplier.

The Core i9-11900H is the next chip in the lineup, with slightly lower clock speeds of 2.50 GHz base, 4.90 GHz max-Turbo, and 2.10 GHz AVX512. This chip features a much lower 35 W TDP, and will come with aggressive power management compared to the i9-11980HK. The Core i7-11800H will be the slowest 8-core part, with clock speeds of 2.40 GHz nominal, 4.60 GHz max-Turbo, and 2.00 GHz AVX512. It comes with the same 35 W TDP as the i9-11900H. Next up, are 6-core/12-thread parts, likely under the Core i5 brand. These include the i5-11400H, clocked at 2.70 GHz nominal, 4.50 GHz max-Turbo, and 2.20 GHz AVX512. At the bottom of the pile is the i5-11260H, clocked at 2.60 GHz, with 4.40 GHz max-Turbo, and 2.10 GHz AVX512. Both Core i5 parts are 35-Watt.


My question on this.
Why would the 8 core laptop processors be rated at 35w, when its always been at 45w. Top rated laptop processors have always been rated at 45w. The older "xm" processors where rated at 55w, but 11th gen's top cpu is at 65w.
Is intel changing their TDP ratings for the 11th gen?

 

35W is a TDP down option, default will be 45W. The more interesting generation is Alder Lake-P for me by the way: https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-12th-gen-core-alder-lake-mobile-lineup-has-been-leaked

 

So 45w is now "Thin Enthusiast" lol

 

u know it! their plan lasted from 2012 till now to force bga, and then tdp along with bunch of other limitation. @unclewebb even said some of the newer cpus no longer allow undervolt, kinda no point going mobile CPU at this point if theres so little to no control.

the new intel CPU 11700k is nothing amazing either, waiting for alderlake desktop CPU in laptops to see how that goes, end of this year baby.

 

The 11th Gen U and G7 have completely locked out CPU voltage control.

Not yet sure about the 11th Gen H or desktop K CPUs that are being released.

 

Don't get your hopes up with laptops based on these CPUs not having thermal problems. All hail the day of the disposable laptop. Use them. Burn them up. Dump them. Rinse and repeat.
