Intel's New 11th Gen Tiger Lake H45 CPUs Promise Big Gains For Gamers, Creators
- 3 years ago
Intel has launched new Core H-series H45 processors which are different from the H35 series Intel announced back in January, although most of these are often configured right down to 35W.
The new H-series processors run on Intel's SuperFin 10nm process, and that they include all the improvements of the Tiger Lake processors that we've already seen on the company's 35W processors. This means 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes than can be used by the storage drive or the GPU, support for Thunderbolt 4 with 40Gbps transfer speeds, and Intel's in-house Iris Xe GPU with 32 execution units (EUs). There's also support for DDR4-3200 memory, H20 Intel Optane storage, Intel's Killer Wi-Fi 6E cards.
The top-of-the-line offering this time is the Intel Core i9-11980HK processor, which is unlocked for overclocking, and it features eight cores and 16 threads. This beast is also capable of boosting up all the way to 5GHz not just on one of its cores, but on two of them. Its maximum all-core turbo is 4.5GHz. Intel also offers a variant without the overclocking support and with slightly lower clock speeds. It is worth noting that even the lower end of Intel's lineup, this time features a minimum of six cores and 12 threads, and therefore the integrated graphics run at similar speeds across the board.
