The new 11th gen Intel Core i9-11980HK is able to best a Ryzen 9 5900HX, but a certain chip designed in Cupertino is unmentioned.
Intel has unveiled its Tiger Lake-H family, otherwise known as 11th gen Intel Core H-series, aimed at laptop gamers, creative content makers, and enthusiasts, as well as a pair of Xeon processors for mobile workstations. Thanks to its Willow Cove core, Intel is claiming the title of the world’s fastest single-threaded laptop processor, which boasts a 12% improvement, as well as 19% improved multi-threaded performance over its 10th generation Comet Lake predecessors. While much of the semiconductor industry faces shortages, Intel said there are 80 laptop designs in the pipeline, and over 1 million chips have been shipped to laptop makers already. The H-series chips are built on the 10-nanometre SuperFin process, have 20 PCIe gen 4 lanes attached to the CPU, with 44 other Gen 3 lanes available on the platform, as well as support for Thunderbolt 4, and Wi-Fi 6E.
