Every year, we get lots of processor announcements at CES. While this year s show is completely virtual, this has continued with AMD, Intel, and Nvidia all introducing significant products, particularly new components for laptop computers. Here are my thoughts on some of these announcements.
Intel
Intel s announcements focused on the firm s 11th Gen Core processors, mostly in the 10nm Tiger Lake family. Intel had announced the first Tiger Lake mobile processors in the fall, but really expanded the line at CES with processors aimed at the business and gaming markets.
I ve been looking forward to seeing the mobile business products, especially those that support vPro, Intel s platform for security and management. Until now, all of the enterprise laptops based on Intel processors have used variations of the 14nm process first introduced all the way back at the end of 2014, and though Intel has improved its process and products through then, up through the current Com
Today at CES 2021, Intel announced its Tiger Lake vPro processors, based on its 10-nanometer SuperFin process. It includes Intel Hardware Shield, Iris Xe graphics, fast connectivity, and more.
And some desktop parts, from 14nm and eight cores to 10nm and four cores

CES Intel announced at this year’s virtual CES tech trade show on Monday new clans of x86-64 processors for desktop and laptops.
“Only Intel has the breadth of products spanning multiple architectures; the large, open ecosystem; sheer scale of manufacturing footprint; and deep technical expertise customers need to unlock opportunities in this era of distributed intelligence,” executive veep Gregory Bryand gushed.
“With an intense focus on execution for our core products and across our broader portfolio, we’re introducing a series of leadership products at CES with more following throughout the year.”
Intel 11th gen Core H-series mobile processors, Core vPro, Pentium Silver, Celeron processors and more announced at CES 2021
During its CES 2021 keynote event, Intel announced multiple new mobile processors that feature their 11th gen Core technologies. They introduced updated processors for their business customers with new Intel Core vPro CPUs; new Core-H series processors for gaming and new N-series Pentium Silver and Celeron processors that are targeted at education systems.
With the 11th Gen Core H-series processors, Intel is focusing on improving the gaming capabilities of ultra-portable laptops. They are built on Intel’s 10nm SuperFin technology and feature support for PCIe Gen 4 technology, which will enable faster connection and lower latency to the dedicated GPU, which are crucial for gaming. They will have integrated WiFi-6 support and Thunderbolt 4, expanding its connectivity options, and with Turbo Boost Max 3.0 technology built-in, they can reach up to 5GHz turbo fr
