Intel 11th Generation based on 10nm process will have Tiger Lake code name that will be released to the market maybe after 2020. If you have never heard of the Athena Project from Intel, it’s time to do it. This device will be a line of ultra-low-power laptops that offer premium performance in a slim form, like ultrabook, only better. Intel will not make it, only certifying them in the Athens laboratory. Not all notebooks will cut, and notebooks must comply with stringent requirements such as power efficiency, performance and dimensions and weight of the device. Athens will mainly include 10nm Ice Lake and Tiger Lake-based ultrabooks and considering the lack of competition, it is fair to say that the price will be a little expensive.
Although the blue team (Intel) will continue to be hit by AMD Ryzen 3000 AMD processors in the mainstream desktop market (gaming and rendering), the laptop room should see the introduction of several devices that are fast and power-efficient, thanks to the Sunny Cove core and the much-awaited 10nm node . IGPU Gen11 will also make people interested in the visual side. Intel has finally gotten home back in order and we must see the Tiger Lake chip debut shortly after Ice Lake in 2020 providing important improvements both in terms of processing power and efficiency. That way Intel will get its place back in the computer market share through portable devices that are equipped with their processors. On the other hand, the interesting thing is that the CPU is paired with LPDDR4X memory, not DDR5. So, we can assume that Intel will not discard DDR4 technology in the near future, at least not with Comet Lake or Rocket Lake.
Intel 10nm product era has begun
The Tiger Lake-Y chip seen in UserBench showed that Intel is making steady progress on its future lineup. This is the first appearance of this architecture in any database and from that display, this is an early engineering sample with a docile clock and lack of stability.
The hyperthreaded quad-core CPU that was tested runs at a base clock of only 1.2GHz and a 2.9GHz boost. Considering that this is a very low-power Y variant, it is not surprising that the last iteration was clocked in the same range. The Tiger Lake-Y 10nm processor is paired with an Intel UHF Gen12 LP iGPU which will replace the Gen11 processor which is said to be launched with Ice Lake-U / Y and offers performance on par with AMD’s integrated Vega 10/11. It’s still too early to say exactly how fast these parts are and how big is the difference between the low power and high power variants, but certainly the graphics embedded in the 11th generation Intel processors will be much better than Gen9 and 9.5 graphics. UHD that is in Coffee Lake products.
the intel timeline innovation
Alright, let’s wait for the real realization of the plan and whether the 11th generation Intel Processor can provide strong resistance to its competitors from the red team, AMD Ryzen.
