Intel has announced the 11th generation ‘Tiger Lake’ processor for laptops. These processors will include the company’s new XE graphics, Thunderbolt 4 support, WiFi 8 and better battery life than previous Ice Lake processors. Intel claims that the 11-generation processors are going to be “the best processors for light and thin laptops”.

Intel is going to bring nine new processor designs of 11 generations. These include U-Series (UP3) and Y-Series (UP4) – both class chips. These two class processors are powered by Core i7-1165G6 with a base speed of 3.0 GHz. It can be expanded up to 4.8 GHz with a single core turbo boost.

Also, with new powerful graphics, you will get 96 central units and 1.36 GHz equivalent graphics speed.

Intel unveiled the new chips for the first time at this year’s Architecture Day event. Like the 10 generation, the 11 generation chips are based on the 10 nanometer architecture. However, a new “10 nanometer superfin design” has been added which will provide better speed while consuming less power as demanded by Intel.

Intel did not say in which case these additional benefits would be available. However, it has been reported that 20% more speed will be noticeable in terms of office productivity, system level power, etc. As a result, additional battery backups can be found in tasks like video streaming.

Things like word processing will be 32% faster than Ice Lake processors. Intel’s chips are also 24% faster than AMD’s Raizen laptop chips. Video editing will be 49% faster than Ice Lake processors and twice as fast as AMD 11-generation processors. 11 generations of Tiger Lake processors will be 8% faster than Ice Lake processes and 146% faster than AMD for online games.

Also built-in AI engine for better performance while performing tasks like background blurring in video calling Staying In chips.

In addition to the new chips, Project Athena Certification Standard has been renamed Intel Evo. Evo will need high quality specification. At least 9 hours of real world backup is available for a single charge. There will also be fast charging, which will give 4 hours backup on 30 minutes charge.
