Intel introduces 11th Generation Core Tiger Lake H-series mobile processors
Intel has introduced new 11th Gen Intel Core H-series processors based on 10 nanometer SuperFin process technology, feature up to 8 cores and 16 threads, with single and dual-core turbo performance up to 5.0GHz. Additionally, the central processing unit (CPU) can directly access high-speed GDDR6 memory attached to the graphics card, enabling gamers to experience higher frame rates with lower latency, and load large textures faster. The mobile processor offers 2.5 times the total PCIe bandwidth to the CPU compared with the 10th Gen H-series processors, and three times the total PCIe bandwidth compared with other industry processors.
Intel reveals 11th Gen Core H-series laptop CPUs to unseat AMD

Earlier this year, we saw Intel launch its new 11th Gen Core desktop processors, and today the company followed those up by officially revealing its 11th Gen Core H-Series mobile processors for notebooks. Like the desktop processors, these were first confirmed at CES 2021 at the beginning of the year, but now we’re getting the first real details about these CPU. In addition, Intel also revealed its 11th Gen Core vPro and Xeon CPUs for mobile workstations.
The 11th Gen Core H-series mobile processors, however, are clearly the star of today’s announcement, and the Core i9-11980HK is the flagship that’s leading the charge. These processors use Intel’s Willow Cove architecture and are based on the company’s 10nm SuperFin technology.

Intel says its new processor is faster than AMD’s top Ryzen processor, but both companies series of processors, from the low-end to the high-end, are still challenged by Apple’s M-series processors, with the M1 soon to be augmented by an even more powerful M2.
In the world of CPUs or central processing units, a revolution has been taking place. Following more than a decade of more-or-less relatively incremental updates with Intel’s Core-series processors, AMD came along and started eating Intel’s lunch, dramatically upping the ante and forcing Intel to get off its backside and start responding with vigour.
Today is a big day for laptops – not only has Nvidia just launched the RTX 3050 and RTX 3050 Ti for laptops, but Intel is also launching new 11th Gen Core H-series mobile processors. The new Intel 11th Gen mobile line-up includes the flagship Core i9-11980HK, which Intel claims to be the ‘world’s best gaming laptop processor’.
The new platform includes 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes with Intel Rapid Storage Technology and up to 44 total PCIe lanes including 24 PCIe 3.0 lanes from a dedicated controller hub. Other features include memory support up to DDR4-3200, Thunderbolt 4 with transfer speeds up to 40Gbps, Discrete Intel Killer WiFi 6E and dual embedded Display Port.
Intel has announced new 11th Gen Core H-series, vPro and Xeon processors. Aimed at gaming and business, these new high-performance CPU options should push the envelope for mobile processors.
The new Core H processors, led by the flagship Core i9-11980HK, use Intel’s 10nm ‘SuperFin’ process technology, feature up to eight cores and 16 threads and have both single- and dual-core turbo performance up to 5GHz. Additionally, Intel notes that the H-series chips can directly access the fast GDDR6 memory attached to the GPU to help deliver higher frame rates and reduce latency.
Intel’s Core H lineup includes chips for ultraportable, thin gaming laptops as well as chunkier models designed to handle the latest titles at high settings. And, thanks to the new ‘Willow Cove’ core architecture, Intel says the 11th Gen H-series chips boast a 19 percent gen-on-gen improvement to multi-threaded performance.
