For those who are going to purchase a laptop please note
Comet Lake:
Comet Lake:
- 5th refresh of Intel’s Skylake architecture from 2015
- Built on Intel’s optimised 14nm+++ process which allows for peak clock speeds in the 5.0–5.3 GHz range
- Up to 10 cores and 20 threads on highest end SKU (Core i9)
- Same Gen9.5 UHD620/630 GPU (rebranded HD520/530 from the 6th gen) with 24 EUs
- DDR4-2933 support
- Uses Sunny Cove cores which represent Intel’s first new microarchitecture since Skylake
- Built on Intel’s 10nm+ process which is still nowhere near 14nm levels in terms of transistor performance (hence lower clocks).
- Restricted to laptop processors for now (Ice Lake-U and Y series) due to terrible yields
- Up to 4 cores/8 threads
- Gen11 GPU with up to 64 execution units
- LPDDR4X–3733 and DDR4–3200 support
- Integrated Thunderbolt 3 I/O controller on-die
- Integrated Gaussian Neural Accelerator
- Updated Image Processing Unit (IPU)
- Up to 18% better instruction per clock (IPC) compared to Skylake
- Private L3 cache compared to the shared L3 in Skylake
- HDMI 2.0b support compared to HDMI 1.4b
- AVX-512 support, up from AVX2 in Skylake
- Will replace Ice Lake in laptops
- Will use Intel’s Willow Cove cores
- To be built on Intel’s 10nm++
- 3MB of L3 cache compared to 2MB in Ice Lake (a 50% increase)
- Gen12 GPU based on Intel’s Xe architecture
- PCIe Gen4 (finally!)
- HDMI 2.1
Intel Tiger Lake CPUs: Everything We Know So Far | Digital Trends
Ice Lake is good, but Tiger Lake is even better. These 11th-generation CPUs sport 12th-generation graphics, higher clocks, and an entirely new architecture.
