Via the firm's Computex 2021 keynote, Intel introduced two new Tiger Lake Refresh laptop processors. These chips will start shipping next week.

5GHz Boost for the Core i7-1195G7

New in Intel's 10nm Tiger Lake portfolio are the Core i7-1195G7 and Core i5-1155G7. These two laptop processors feature four cores and eight threads.

The Core i7-1195G7 has a base frequency of 2.9GHz, an all-core Turbo of 4.6GHz, and a single-core Turbo of 5.0GHz. It packs 12MB L3 cache and has Xe-based integrated graphics with 96 EUs clocked at 1.40GHz.

The Core i5-1155G7 is clocked at 2.5GHz, it has a 4.3GHz all-core Turbo and a 4.5GHz single-core Turbo. This model has 8MB L3 cache and 80 graphics EUs clocked at 1.35GHz.

Both chips have a 12W to 28W TDP range and support DDR4-3200 and LPDDR4X-4266 memory.

About the New 11th Gen Intel Core Processors: The 11th Gen Intel Core processor family continues to deliver real-world productivity, collaboration, creation, gaming and entertainment on thin-and-light laptops.

Now 11th Gen Intel Core processor-based laptops deliver:

Up to 5 gigahertz (GHz) in high-volume thin-and-light designs — an industry first.

Up to 25% overall application performance advantage over the competition.

Designs with Intel® Wi-Fi 6/6E (Gig+) for improved connectivity.

ISV optimizations for up to eight times faster transcoding and up to twice the video editing speed over the competition.

Impressive 1080p gameplay on new and popular titles, such as Valheim, with up to a 2.7 higher frame rate than that of the competition.

More than 60 designs based on the Intel Core i7-1195G7 and Intel Core i5-1155G7 are expected by this holiday season, with laptops from Acer, ASUS, Lenovo and MSI available this summer. Nearly 250 designs powered by 11th Gen Intel Core U-series processors are expected by this holiday season.

Alder Lake has five variants

Intel also briefly teased Alder Lake, the upcoming 10nm architecture that should hit the market before the end of this year. Alder Lake will combine up to eight Golden Cove cores with up to eight energy-efficient Gracemont cores. The chip will use the LGA1700 socket and will introduce DDR5 and PCI Express 5.0 support.

Five variants were confirmed:

• Alder Lake-S for desktops (LGA) and laptops (BGA)
• Alder Lake-P for high-performance laptops
• Alder Lake-M for energy efficiency
• Alder Lake-L is an Atom successor
• Alder Lake-N for the Chromebook and educational market
