Intel has announced the launch of its 11th generation Tiger Lake chips, designed for use in notebooks. The new chips include integrated Xe graphics, Thunderbolt 4 support, USB 4, PCIe Gen 4 and WiFi 6.
Intel claims that Tiger Lake chips, made with the 10-nanometer "SuperFin" process, are the best processor in the world for lightweight, ultraportable computers. According to Intel, Tiger Lake offers significant performance and efficiency improvements over the previous generation (Ice Lake).
Intel says the new Tiger Lake CPUs will be integrated into more than 50 notebooks coming out this fall and cites various manufacturers such as Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung, but not Apple. Since Tiger Lake chips are for low-power notebooks and offer a maximum power of 28W, it is unlikely that Apple will ever use them.
Although the news from Intel will have less relevance in the Apple world, as the migration to its ARM-based architecture is in preparation, Mac computers still incorporate Intel chips, so we continue to echo the news they generate Even if it's just bad lately. news, such as that which cannot make the 7-nanometer production process profitable (even if there are other manufacturers who have already succeeded) or that have suffered the theft of confidential documents.
When Apple computers start appearing with their ARM-based architecture and real-life performance can be compared, Intel will have a reputation crisis (bigger than it already has).
