Intel announces three Tiger Lake-H quad-cores with 35W TDP
Intel has announced the Tiger Lake-H35 generation of mobile processors. The series initially consists of three processors, of which the Core i7-11375H is the most powerful, with a turbo that can operate at a maximum of 5GHz when using a single core.
According to Intel, the Tiger Lake-H35 processors are particularly suitable for laptops that combine a small thickness with gaming performance. For the latter, the PCIe 4.0 interface should offer an advantage, for the combination with relatively powerful video cards. The 35W processors offer four PCIe 4.0 lanes.
It is striking that Intel announces with the announcement that it has combined its processors with the ‘last generation laptop GPU from Nvidia’, without giving further details about this. Nvidia is expected to announce RTX 30 mobile video cards on Tuesday. The company placed a teaser who hinted at such an announcement January 12. Intel does not report anything about a combination with AMD video cards.
Intel does claim that more than forty different laptop models with the Tiger Lake-H35 processors will be on the way in the first half of 2021, from Acer, ASUS and MSI, among others. Initially, it concerns three processors, which have great similarities with the Intel Tiger Lake-U processors from last year. It is still about quad cores that Intel makes at 10nm and with support for eight threads and up to 12MB L3 cache. The GPU is the Xe-LP with 96 execution units.
By default, the clock speeds are slightly higher than with the U-series and Intel has also increased the maximum turbo speeds. Manufacturers can set whether the processors should run on a 28W or 35W mode, depending on, among other things, the cooling and with consequences for the clock speed. The Tiger Lake-U processors are standard 15W chips, but manufacturers can give them a TDP of 25W for higher performance.
Intel calls the Core i7-11375H a ‘Special Edition’. This is a quad-core clocked at 3GHz or 3.3GHz, depending on whether the TDP is set to 28W or 35W. The maximum turbo clock speed is 5GHz when a single core is loaded.

The Special Edition will not be the most powerful Tiger Lake-H35, because Intel briefly shows a variant with eight cores. This multi-core processor can run at a turbo speed of 5GHz and offers up to twenty PCIe 4.0 lanes. The performance does lead to a higher tdp, because this is 45W with the octacore. Intel has not yet mentioned a type designation for this CPU, but it is yet to appear in the first quarter of 2021.
