Expected to debut at CES 2021 new gaming notebooks combined with Intel Tiger Lake processors always with quad core architecture, but which thanks to the higher consumption will offer greater performance

Intel Core Tiger Lake
One of the expected news for the edition 2021 of the CES , which due to the pandemic will only be held in virtual form, is the launch of new Intel processors of the Tiger Lake family specifically designed for pairing with high-end gaming notebooks.
These CPUs are indicated with the name of Tiger Lake-H 35
The TDP of these processors should be equal to 35 Watt , therefore greater than that of Tiger Lake U series models which have default TDP equal to 15 Watt with the possibility of being selected from a minimum of 12 Watts up to a maximum of 28 Watt depending on notebook manufacturer preferences.
These man they will keep quad core architecture , the same as those on the market, benefiting from higher clock frequencies thanks to the higher TDP. In this way Intel will be able to offer latest generation solutions in combination with the new gaming notebooks expected to debut on the market, equipped with the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs 3000 whose launch should take place at CES 2021.
These processors will be side by side, presumably during the second quarter 2021, from Tiger Lake-H proposals with TDP equal to 45 Watt and 6 and 8 core architecture depending on version. The production process at 10 nanometers and the basic architecture will be maintained, but thanks to the higher consumption and higher number of cores these CPUs will be paired with high-end gaming notebooks presumably paired with the most powerful GPUs.
The 11th generation Tiger Lake processors are used by various thin notebooks on the market ; some manufacturers have chosen to provide operating settings that push the TDP even beyond the 28 Watts from specification obtaining a net increase in performance with obviously repercussions in terms of consumption and operating noise. Tiger Lake-H processors 35 will actually push this approach further, exploiting the potential of this architecture in combination with appropriately sized cooling systems.
