Intel shipped 50 million Tiger Lake processors

Intel has now shipped fifty million processors of the Tiger Lake generation announced last year. The chip company delivered more laptop processors in the past quarter, but the average price fell.

The 10nm production of the Tiger Lake processors is going better than expected and fifty million processors of the generation have now been delivered. The chip company announced this in the publication of the quarterly figures. Intel introduced Tiger Lake in September last year. The processors have Willow Cove cores manufactured on 10nm++ and GPUs based on the Xe architecture.

In the second half of the year, Intel expects to ship several million Alder Lake generation processors and Meteor Lake is on track to appear in 2023. Alder Lake is the successor to Rocket Lake on desktop and Tiger Lake on laptops, and will consist of a combination of economical and powerful cores. Intel makes Meteor Lake at 7nm.

Intel’s revenue from laptop processors increased 15 percent in the past quarter compared to last year. This was mainly due to a significant increase in deliveries. The average price of the supplied laptop chips fell by seventeen percent. According to Intel, this is because it now has more small core products in its processor offerings. The company is probably referring to the arrival of the Jasper Lake Pentiums and Celerons early this year. These are cheap dual-cores and quad-cores that find their way into budget laptops and notebooks for the education market.

Sales from desktop processors increased by 11 percent, but the average price fell here too, by 5 percent. The total turnover of Intel’s Client computing Group amounted to 10.1 billion dollars, equivalent to 8.58 billion euros. That is 6 percent more than in the same period last year. The Data Center Group’s quarterly revenue fell 9 percent to $6.5 billion.
