What you demand to know

Intel has announced 2 new Cadre U-series processors for sparse and light notebooks.
The chips are 11th Gen 'Tiger Lake' based on the 10nm SuperFin procedure.
The new Core i7 is the starting time U-series flake to hitting 5GHz (turbo single-core).
Intel expects lx+ consumer designs with the 2 new fries this year.
Intel likewise debuted its first 5G M.two solution for laptop makers.

In an unsurprising but still welcomed move, Intel announced the new Cadre i5-1155G7 and Core i7-1195G7, which clock higher than any other U-series chips so far. Both are iv cores, 8 threads with 12-28 watts TDP, but the clock speeds are higher to accomplish even more performance. The chips are 'Tiger Lake' designed based on the 10nm SuperFin process as previous 11th Gen releases.

The i5-1155G7 brings the base frequency downwardly from 2.6GHz to 2.5GHz compared to the i5-1145G7. But the new i5 boosts max unmarried-cadre turbo to four.5GHz (instead of iv.4GHz) and all-core turbo to 4.3GHz (instead of 4.0GHz). Too, graphics max frequency jumps from 1.3GHz to 1.35GHz, sharing the same clock speed of the Xe graphics of the i7-1185G7.

Similarly, the new Core i7-1195G7 has a 2.9GHz base frequency (downwards from 3GHz in the i7-1185G7). But the new i7 increases all-core turbo to 4.6GHz (up from 4.3GHz) and single-cadre turbo to that coveted 5.0GHz (upwards from 4.8GHz). Equally, its Xe GPU hits a new high of ane.4GHz instead of the 1185G7's 1.35GHz.

Intel is confident its new i7-1195G7 tin "eclipse" the AMD Ryzen 7 5800U in benchmarks, whether in gaming or content creation. For instance, in gaming, Intel claims its new i7 delivers a 1.64x increase in operation versus Ryzen vii in a game like Apex Legends. And in something similar Adobe Lightroom (Photo Merge), the i7 has ii.36x the operation versus the identical Ryzen 7.

Intel has also shared info about these claims on its website for further scrutiny.

As well just performance, these new fries all the same feature Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi6E (Gig+), and Intel Evo certification.

Intel announced more than 85 Intel Evo designs were launched by OEMs, including Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo, MSI, and Samsung. Information technology expects that number to go up to more than 100 by the end of 2022.

As far as momentum and adoption, Intel claims information technology expects over threescore consumer designs with these new Core U-series processors from its OEM partners by the end of 2022, with Acer, ASUS, Lenovo, and MSI available this summer. And, overall, Intel boasts there will be "nearly" 250 laptop designs with Intel 11th Gen Core (U-series) this holiday season.

Intel 5G Solution 5000 Thou.2 coming this year

Finally, Intel revealed its new 5G Solution 5000 in partnership with MediaTek and Fibocom. The new Yard.2 solution lets OEM drop in 5G to new laptops with Intel Core U- and H-series processors. The Intel 5G Solution 5000 has worldwide carrier certification and "delivers nearly five-times speed increases over Intel Gigabit LTE."

The 5G type offered is the more ubiquitous Sub-6GHz standard instead of the more powerful (but range-limited) mmWave provided by Verizon (which also has more complicated antenna requirements).

While there are currently Intel-based 5G laptops like HP's ZBook Firefly and Aristocracy Dragonfly, those laptops use Qualcomm-based X55 modems to accomplish that connectivity. Instead, companies can build laptops that are pure Intel for the processor, graphics, Thunderbolt 4, and connectivity like Wi-Fi6E (Gig+), and now 5G. That competition should also assistance drive downward 5G prices for laptops.

Fibocom will supply the role under FM350-GL, and MediaTek played a role in "product definition, development, certification, and support of 5G modem solutions."

Like the new Core U-series processors, Acer, ASUS, and HP amidst the first OEMs expected to implement Intel 5G Solution 5000 in new Cadre U- and H-series laptops after this yr. Over thirty laptop designs with Intel 5G are projected for 2022.
