Intel has finally launched Tiger Lake, the 11th-generation lineup of processors for ultraportable laptops.
Intel Tiger Lake is the second 10nm microarchitecture to actually make it to commercially-available laptops, even though it’s the third overall – we all remember the nightmare that was Cannon Lake. What separates Intel Tiger Lake from its predecessor – 2019’s Ice Lake – is the inclusion of Intel Xe graphics, which promises a massive boost to graphics performance over the Intel Gen11 graphics found in Intel’s 10th-gen lineup. With this, Intel is promising absolutely monumental improvements across the board, no matter what kind of work you are trying to do. And, while Intel has officially launched the architecture, it may be a while before we start seeing a ton of laptops packing these processors – though Acer and Asus have already announced new lineups. So, now that we have all the juicy Intel Tiger Lake specs, release date and architecture information, we gathered everything up in one spot. And, as new laptops come out, we’ll be sure to keep this article updated, so be sure to keep it bookmarked. Intel initially announced Tiger Lake at CES 2020, but didn’t give a hard release date. However, the platform has officially been launched, and it should be filtering its way into laptops from every major OEM over the next few months. The first lineups we know of are from Asus and Acer, for the Zenbook and Swift series, respectively.
