Intel says its next-gen laptop CPUs double the graphics performance of 10th Gen processors

After much talk about AI, self-driving cars, and laptops, Intel provided a few details about its next generation processors during today’s CES event. We don’t know how soon devices with 11th Gen CPUs will start shipping, but a promo video said that they’re “coming soon.” August or September would be my bet, then. 

Intel’s next CPUs are codenamed Tiger Lake, and let me be clear that these may not be for desktop systems. Comet Lake will come first to high performance desktops, probably next month, and perhaps a variant of Tiger Lake could end up in desktops as well, but for now they’re the domain of laptops.

Tiger Lake will include additional architectural enhancements to improve performance in certain workloads, for example via additional DL Boost optimizations and instructions. It will also be the first Intel CPU to integrate Intel’s upcoming Xe Graphics—which will also be used in discrete cards.

The Tiger Lake demonstration consisted of Intel showing a laptop running Warframe at “HD resolution.” Did Intel mean 720p HD, or 1080p Full HD? It wasn’t clear, and we weren’t shown settings or framerates. All I can say for sure is that a Tiger Lake based laptop was able to run Warframe at what appeared to be more than 30 fps.
