This is the lone Core i7 model in the series, flanked by the six-core Core i5 models below, and higher clocked Core i9 chips above. The Core i7-11800H we’re reviewing today is Intel’s primary mainstream offering that will be used in the majority of mid-range to high-end laptops. While Willow Cove and Tiger Lake has been around for a little while now in ultraportable systems, these 8-core designs are new and specially designed for higher performance systems, bringing Intel’s 10nm SuperFin technology to a higher power class.Īlong with new CPU cores and twice the amount of cores that are available in ultraportables, 11th-gen H-series CPUs also bring new Xe integrated graphics, 20 lanes of PCIe 4.0 connectivity, integrated Thunderbolt 4, and a whole range of other stuff. Tiger Lake H45 brings to the table 8 Willow Cove CPU cores, a massive overhaul from the previous Skylake derivatives Intel has been using for years now in laptops.
Intel announced this CPU only a couple of weeks ago and now we've had enough time to prepare our usual exhaustive review, so here we are today with all of the details. Today we are taking our first look at Intel’s Tiger Lake H45 laptop processors and how they perform with a comprehensive benchmark analysis of the Core i7-11800H.
