Lenovo has long been on the even with the business-oriented ThinkPads : 9 display held. The new ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 and X1 Yoga Gen 6 models now receive at least 16: 10 displays – but some users might still want more vertical space. At CES, the ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, the first ThinkPad model with a 3: 2 display, was presented.
The 3: 2 format has been given a significant boost by Microsoft’s Surface products receive. It has its advantages especially in productive work. And this is precisely what Lenovo’s business notebooks from the ThinkPad series are primarily intended for. The ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga is by no means a classic notebook workhorse, but with its 256 – degree hinge a 2-in -1, which can also be used as a tablet. Thanks to a display lid made of titanium, it should have its very own look. The construction height of just over 10 mm contributes to an elegant appearance. The weight should be only 1, 15 kg. This is made possible on the one hand by the display lid made of titanium, on the other hand also by the use of other lightweight materials such as carbon and magnesium.

The 44, 5 Wh battery should be up to 10, hold out for 9 hours.
Lenovo wants orders for the ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga in this Accept month. The starting price is specified with 2 44 Euro.
Portable versions of the new NVIDIA RTX 30 based on Ampere GPUs will arrive soon. Some other notebook equipped with AMD Ryzen processors 5000 H and these cards have already been leaked in leaks of models of ASUS and ACER, however, as confirmed by various industry sources, RTX 30 laptops will arrive before next-gen processors from Intel and AMD , which will make the first gaming laptops with graphics such as the RTX 3080 hit the market with previous generation Intel Core processors 10 th gen and AMD Ryzen 4000.
We will have to wait weeks or even months to see laptops with RTX on sale 30 together with new generation Intel and AMD CPUs
Intel has stopped see some details of its 11th generation Core H processors for gaming laptops, and it is expected that the AMD Ryzen 5000 H will be announced shortly, but it seems that they will not arrive in time to give life to the renewal of the models of manufacturers, so we will see computers with processors such as the Core i7 – 10850 H “Comet Lake” or the Ryzen 7 4800 H from the AMD Renoir range accompanied by RTX series cards 30.
It seems that we will have to still wait weeks or even months until we can see a complete renovation of the main ranges of gaming laptops from companies such as ASUS, MSI, ACER or PCSpecialist with processors on sale next-generation Intel and AMD graphics alongside the new NVIDIA RTX graphics 3000.

Intel’s Core H series will this time include both 4- and 8-core processors, semi-officially separated by H 35 and For H series
At CES last night, Intel presented its long-awaited Rocket Lake code-named Core S series processors. In addition to Rocket Lake, the company also had other processor news to announce, for example, new Tiger Lake models.
Intel’s new processors for laptops will be known in the market 11. as the next generation Core H series, but this time behind the name are two distinctly different series. For this reason, the processors are officially divided into the traditional H-series and the new H 35 series. The more traditional Core H series is based on the familiar Tiger Lake architecture, but uses a more robust 8-core chip where quad-core Tiger Lake is currently used. The company did not disclose more accurate clock frequencies for future models, but praised the 8-core and 16 processor running at 5 GHz at its best clock frequency on multiple cores. The processors are additionally equipped with a 11 band of PCIe 4.0 for the graphics card and M.2 SSD. As expected, the platform also includes Thunderbolt 4 and Wi-Fi 6E support.
The Core H series) is less new than the name alone suggests, as these are actually the familiar 4- series used in the U-series. core Tiger Lake chips. Where in the U-series the processors could be configured at their highest watt TDP, their maximum consumption has been increased to H 35 – in the series the name already hints 28 watts
The series will include three processor models, Core i5 – 11300 H, i7 – 11375 H and i7 – 13375 H SE. All of the processors are quad-core and can run 8 threads simultaneously using Hyper-Threading-SMT technology. Core i7 – 11370 H and i7 – 11375 H SE processors are distinguished only by Turbo- clock speeds, because where 11370 H reaches a maximum Turbo clock frequency of 4.8 GHz when 11375 H SE bends to 5 GHz on a single core as long as the processor temperatures are below 60 degrees. You can find the most important information about the processors in the table above.
Intel has just published their CES conference 2021 in which they unveil their new eleventh Intel Core processors generation for desktop computers together some details.
This new line of processors promises an increase in IPC or instructions per cycle, the performance that a processor is capable of offering per each clock cycle, of 19% with respect to the last generation, thanks to the use of the new architecture Intel Rocket Lake-S with Cypress Cove cores.
According to Intel itself, in games these processors will surpass the AMD alternative. Specifically, they have shown the Metro Exodus with a RTX 3080 from Nvidia together with an Intel i7 with 8 cores of this new generation against an AMD Ryzen with 12 cores (we assume the Ryzen 9 5900 x) and the same RAM and GPU configuration.
Rocket Lake-S brings with it support for PCI Express 4.0 on intel platform
They will also incorporate new artificial intelligence capabilities, Intel Deep Learning Boost . PCI Express 4.0 will finally appear on the Intel platform , with 16 PCIe 4.0 lanes for the CPU . Let us remember that these processors will use the LGA socket 1200 under a new line of Intel chipsets of the series 500.
The company has shown emphasis on its capabilities for games, with specific optimizations for these types of applications.
As expected, there will be three series of these processors, with Core i9 for the highest range, followed by Core i7 and Core i5.
We will have to wait for the company to give more details to know all the news and models of this new range. The arrival of previously leaked models such as the Intel Core i9 – 11900 K, with 8 cores and 16 threads. Except for surprise, they will be manufactured to 14 nanometers and will have Intel Xe graphics cores.

Intel announced a new generation of Intel Core vPro solutions, based on Tiger Lake architecture, for business laptops. Performance, due to the new hardware, but also security improve.
by Manolo De Agostini published 12 January 2021 , at 08: 21 in the Device channel Intel Core vPro Tiger Lake
Intel announced at CES 2021 vPro platform update to processors Eleventh Generation Core , codenamed Tiger Lake . vPro is the company’s hardware and software suite designed to guarantee companies the security of their systems and easier management of the same, even remotely, in case of problems or need for updating.
The new vPro offering consists of four models, all with 4 cores and 8 threads : we find the Core i5 – 1140 G7 (1.1 GHz base, 4.2 GHz turbo) and the Core i5 – 1145 G7 (2.6GHz base, 4.4GHz turbo) together with two models Core i7 , the 1180 G7 (1.3 GHz base, 4.6 GHz turbo) and the 1185 G7 (3 GHz base, 4.8 GHz turbo). All chips are equipped with latest generation Intel Xe integrated graphics, in versions with 96 or 80 EU depending on the model, therefore quite powerful.

From a performance perspective, these processors should offer results comparable to those of traditional Tiger Lake CPUs that Intel introduced in the notebook sector last year. The company, during its conference, emphasized productivity, indicating performance with Office 365 on 23% higher and a progress of 50% if you work in multi-tasking, with a video conference session in parallel. This data was obtained by comparing a Core i7 – 1185 G7 with a Ryzen 7 Pro 4750 U .
In terms of security , Intel recalled how Tiger Lake CPUs provide additional protection thanks to Intel Control-Flow Enforcement Technology (Intel CET). This is a solution designed to repel, thanks to countermeasures integrated directly into the hardware, a series of “control-flow hijacking” attacks, commonly used by many types of malware (further details here).
The new vPro platform therefore offers protection – through indirect branch tracking and shadow stack – from attack methods based on jump / call-oriented programming (JOP / COP) and return-oriented programming (ROP). During the conference, Intel showed a “visual” demo of an attack of this type, even if in reality it all happens without the user’s knowledge, under the radar: well, while the Tiger Lake vPro platform blocked the attack attempt in the bud , while the competing AMD platform was holed.
There is also the addition of additional “CPU counters” in hardware. What does it mean? With this innovation, Intel wants to make life more difficult for cryptominers and ransomware that, unbeknownst to users, use processor resources for their purposes, draining performance and battery. Adding additional CPU performance counters should allow security software to more easily identify spikes in telltale CPU usage and react quickly to stop the threat.
In terms of products, on the market in addition to the portable vPro canonicals we will also see the Evo vPro solutions, capable of respond to the dictates of the Evo certification program, including responsiveness and high performance, extended autonomy and updated and comprehensive connectivity options. According to Intel they will arrive on the market beyond 60 new models from major manufacturers this year , also equipped with “ Clover Falls “, a chip that supports the processor in the management of AI loads and in some operations (more details here).
Among related announcements, Intel stated that Chromebooks with Evo certification will be available within the quarter : we will therefore see higher-end Chrome OS solutions, equipped with Thunderbolt ports and more powerful hardware, able to offer 2.5 times better performance in multi-tasking and web browsing on 28% faster.
Microsoft’s got a refreshed Surface Pro 7 Plus coming soon to enterprise and education customers. It looks exactly like the Surface Pro 7, down to the dimensions, display panel, and placement of the ports, but with some notable changes on the spec sheet.
The display is the same 12.3-inch PixelSense display and you still get the single USB-C port + USB-A port + 3.5mm headphone jack, and Surface Connect port. The battery life is now rated for 15 hours of mixed use (the Surface Pro 7 was rated at 10.5 hours) thanks to a larger 50.4Wh battery (versus the 7 Pro’s 46.5 Wh one) and the improved efficiency of the new Intel Core processors.
Intel’s 11th Generation processers power the Surface 7 Pro Plus. The Core i3 (1115G4) model starts at $899 and comes with 8GB RAM + 128GB SSD while the Core i5 (1135G7) model is the only one that comes with an LTE-enabled option. This model runs $1149 and is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X20 LTE modem – so no 5G. Finally, a maxed out Core i7 (1165G7) model with 32GB RAM + 1TB SSD will run $2799.
Wi-Fi models will offer support for a microSDXC card while the LTE model simply replaces the expansion slot in favor of a nanoSIM card slot.
As per The Verge, Microsoft’s hardware team totally flipped the internals of the Surface Pro 7 in order to make the SSD component removable. At the same time, the TDM (Thermal Design Model) was updated, which allowed for a slightly larger battery to fit in the same amount of space. Microsoft’s decision to refresh the hardware rather than replace the Pro 7 with a “Surface Pro 8” was more for businesses to keep its form factor consistent.
That reminds us. As of right now, Microsoft is only going to offer the Surface 7 Pro Plus to enterprise and education customers. There was no word on whether it would ever be available directly to consumers, but the Windows 10 tablet/PC will arrive on January 15 in the US for eligible customers. It will eventually arrive to customers in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, and throughout most of Europe.
To CES 2021 Intel unveiled the 11th generation Core processors of the H series for the world of gaming notebooks and beyond. It starts with three models with 4 cores and 8 threads, characterized by high frequencies. Up to 8 core solutions coming soon and 16 thread.
by Manolo De Agostini published 11 January 2021 , at 23: 03 in the Processors channel Intel Core Tiger Lake
Intel announced to CES 2021 the new processors Core of eleven 1st generation of the H series for the world of gaming notebooks and beyond. Project-based Tiger Lake (share foundation with existing U-series CPUs, Willow cores Cove and Xe graphics), Intel’s new proposals are characterized by high frequencies, PCI Express 4.0 (x4) support towards the dedicated graphics chip, but a limited number of cores and threads.
We are not in fact facing a full CPU range, but at the moment Intel has announced three quad-core models with Hyper-threading (4 cores / 8 threads) with a TDP between 21 is 35 watt (renamed Tiger Lake H 35 ). Evidently Intel is not yet ready to introduce a process-based CPU 04 SuperFin nanometers with up to 8 cores (and frequency up to 5 GHz with multiple active cores), but don’t despair – this will happen during the quarter , with chips characterized by a TDP of 45 W.
The most powerful model announced by the US company is called Core i7 – 11375 H SpecialEdition , a processor with 12 MB of L3 cache and able, according to the TDP, to work at a base frequency of 3 GHz (21 W) or 3.3 GHz (35 W), accelerating to 4.3 GHz, 4.8 GHz and 5 GHz (Turbo Boost Max 3.0) depending on whether 4, 2 or 1 c are active respectively hours . The processor can be combined with memory LPDDR4x – 4266 or DDR4 – 3200.
Below is Core i7 – 11370 H , quite similar to 11375 H Special Edition except Turbo frequency with a single active core stopping at 4.8 GHz. Finally, here is the Core i5 – 11300 H , a CPU that basically operates at 2.6 GHz ( 21 W) or 3.1 GHz (35 W), and can accelerate to 4 GHz with 4 active cores, or to 4.4 GHz with 1-2 active cores. Another difference is the amount of L3 cache, which drops to 8 MB.
According to Intel, the Core i7 – 11375 H Special Edition offers single-thread performance up to 15% faster than a comparable 10th generation chip , while the progress compared to the 11th generation Cores with TDP of 15 W is about 9%. Multi-threaded performance increases by more than 40%, again referring to an eleventh generation Core from 15 W. In the synthetic test below, the company also speaks of a + 30% vs Best Competitor H-Chip (Ryzen 4000, but tomorrow AMD will announce the series 5000) with single-thread operations.
The graphics performance of Tiger Lake H chips 35, compared to the 10th generation Cores, they are more than double, but this ‘we expected given the goodness of the Xe LP architecture compared to the Gen 9.5 of previous chips. The Killer Wi-Fi 6 / 6E, Thunderbolt 4 and Resizable BAR connectivity, the functionality of the PCI Express protocol that allows the processor to access the entire graphics memory of a dedicated chip to further improve gaming performance. In this regard, Intel underlines that it has collaborated with Nvidia , thus confirming the rumors of the past few hours on the support for Resizable BAR of GeForce RTX mobile (and not just desktop).
According to Intel, over forty notebooks will arrive on the market in the first half of this year , with thickness around 16 mm and display of 14 – 15 inches maximum. We talk about prices starting from 999 dollars and up. The chips will be paired with next generation Nvidia GeForce RTX GPUs , based on Ampere architecture, which is why Intel believes that it will be possible to play some titles with good performance in 4K and many others in Full HD beyond 70 FPS.
Intel has introduced three new processors of the 11th generation Intel Tiger Lake H range, called H 35 are intended for ultra-thin gaming laptops . The new Intel Core i7 11375 H Special Edition is capable of reach 5 GHz with a single core , optimized for games with a high performance and balanced consumption have a consumption of 35 W. The 3 models presented are the aforementioned Intel Core i7 11375 H, the Intel Core i7 11370 H and finally the Intel Core i7 11300 H.

I am a Computer Engineer and my specialty is automation and robotics. My passion for hardware started at 14 years when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 35 with 4MB RAM and 210 MB hard disk . I continue to unleash my passion in the technical articles I write at Geeknetic. I dedicate most of my free time to video games, contemporary and retro, in the more than 20 consoles that I have, in addition to the PC.
Intel’s highlights in relation to the CES are certainly the presentation of the first Tiger Lake-H processors as well as further and first details about the Rocket Lake-S and Alder Lake. But Intel also has news to announce in other product areas.
The innovations include new models of Pentium and Celeron processors, which will be used in the lower price range for notebooks. The processors are based on the Tremont architecture. For the Pentium and Celeron processors, Intel remains true to its line and deactivates hyperthreading here, but offers two or four cores depending on the model.

In the current times, the cheap notebooks for home office and homeschooling are Use particularly in demand. Intel describes the market as the fastest growing. The Chromebooks with the new processors, which should also be available shortly, are highlighted.
In the form of some vPro models with special business functions, Intel is now converting the Tiger Lake processors to this market. Together with the Evo platform, Intel sets certain requirements for the hardware in a catalog of requirements.
The vPro models of the processors are primarily characterized by corresponding software functions that interact with the Hardware, for example, should increase security (Intel Hardware Shield) or make it easier for administrators to manage individual clients (Intel Endpoint Management Assistant).
The Intel Hardware Shield was introduced a few years ago Time introduced. Until now, however, this function was optional for the vPro models in the implementation – for the eleventh core generation or the other models based on Comet Lake, the Intel Hardware Shield for vPro is mandatory. The hardware shield protects against attacks at the firmware level. If, for example, manipulation in the BIOS is detected, this is of course reported and the system is reset to the last status, which supposedly has not yet been attacked.
Already in the run-up to the CES 2021 indicated that there would be numerous innovations in the mobile area. Now Intel has announced the Tiger Lake H processors, which should cover a new ultra-mobile performance range. Tiger Lake-H is the well-known Tiger Lake design with four cores, but with significantly more leeway in the power limit than has been the case with the ultra-mobile Tiger Lake variants so far. Intel calls the processors a special edition. In the form of the Core i7 – 1165 G7 we have already looked at one of these.
Tiger Lake-H should be characterized by a maximum clock rate of 5 GHz. The fastest Core i7 so far – 1185 G7 comes to 4.8 GHz. Thanks to the use of the Willow Cove architecture, the Tiger Lake processors are said to offer quite a remarkable single-threaded performance. It is not surprising that the ST-CPU performance also increases by 9% compared to the previous Tiger Lake processors – the higher clock rate in comparison makes this possible.
The Xe-LP -Graphics unit is identical to the previous Tiger Lake processors. So we see 96 Execution Units (EUs) with a cycle of up to 1, 35 GHz. The connection of the main memory is also identical. The corresponding controller supports DDR4 – 2485 and LPDDR4X – 4266. An integrated Thunderbolt 4 controller and Wi-Fi 6 / 6E are also offered. The four available PCI Express 4.0 lanes can be used to connect an SSD in the best possible way. It is not known whether a dedicated GPU will also be connected via it.
The Tiger-Lake-H -Processors with the new mobile graphics cards of the GeForce RTX – 30 – Generation from NVIDIA, which will be introduced tomorrow. In this context, Intel also mentions support for Resizeable BAR. Intel and NVIDIA have now also implemented the technology that AMD (as Smart Memory Access) transferred to gamer practice.

Manufacturers such as Acer, ASU S, MSI, Sony, Dell, HP and Lenovo will bring corresponding notebooks onto the market or have already announced them – even without explicit mention of Tiger Lake-H. The notebooks should be in the first half of the year 2021 come on the market.
Of course, Intel also delivers some benchmarks. Compared to the Comet Lake H predecessors, the new processors have an advantage, especially in terms of consumption, because instead of up to 45 W with 35 W get along. In terms of single-threaded performance, Intel sees itself as having a clear advantage over the competition.
With regard to the range of functions, it should be noted that the Tiger Lake H processors do not support any overclocking (and therefore no Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU) either.
AMD will, however, present the successor based on the Zen 3 architecture tomorrow and this lead should be a little smaller again.
Tiger Lake-H with eight cores and 20 x PCIe 4.0 later
Without an exact date, Intel has also announced further Tiger Lake H models. These are the models with up to eight cores and 16 Threads that are supposed to reach 5 GHz on multiple cores. Another factor of this Mo dent should be the 16 PCI Express 4.0 lanes, while the previous Tiger Lake processors only have four Offer.
Designed for “enthusiast-level gaming in laptops as thin as 16 millimetres.”, Intel has announced its first three Tiger Lake-H processors. Additionally, the company also shed some light on its upcoming Rocket Lake-S and Alder Lake-S processor architectures, including the release windows for both product series.
Starting with Tiger Lake-H35, here Intel claims it has created a new laptop segment, offering ultraportable laptops (as slim as 16mm) with “enthusiast level gaming prowess”. Featuring PCIe Gen4 and Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6/6E technology, the new Tiger Lake-H35 series will consist of three SKUs with up to 4x cores, 8x threads, 35W TDP design, and a maximum operating frequency of 5.0GHz. Tiger Lake-H processors featuring up to 8x cores, 16x threads, 20x PCIe lanes, and a 45W TDP will come later this quarter. By the first half of 2021, Intel plans to have over 40 laptops available in this market from partners such as Acer, MSI, Asus, Lenovo, HP, Dell, and Vaio.
Intel 11th Gen Core processors for ultraportable gaming will support DDR4-3200 or LPDDR4/x-4267, Thunderbolt 4, and Resizable BAR. Thanks to Intel’s SuperFin architecture, Tiger Lake-H35 processors will run at up to 5.0GHz at 35W, offering around 15% more performance than their predecessors. At 15W, Intel says these chips will offer about 9% more performance in single-core workloads and over 40% more performance in multi-thread workloads when compared to Intel 11th Gen Core processors. We are also told the current flagship Tiger Lake-H35 processor can outperform the Ryzen 9 4900H by up 30% in the SPECRATE *2017_int_base single-thread benchmark.

At CES 2021, Intel also talked about the upcoming Rocket Lake-S processor architecture led by the Core i9-11900K. When compared to the 10th Gen Core desktop series, Intel claims its Rocket Lake-S processors will offer a 19% IPC improvement “for the highest frequency cores”. Intel Rocket Lake-S CPUs will be available in Q1 2021.
Besides Rocket Lake-S, there was also some talk of Alder Lake-S. This series is scheduled to release in the second half of 2021, and it will be Intel’s first architecture to make use of “a new, enhanced version of 10nm SuperFin”. Intel also confirmed that Alder Lake-S CPUs will consist of both high-performance (big) cores and high-efficiency (small) cores, meaning that it will feature a hybrid design similar to its Lakefield processors.
KitGuru says: Will you wait for Rocket Lake-S or Alder Lake-S processors before upgrading your system?
So far there was the 10 – Nanometer processors of the eleventh Core-i generation (Tiger Lake) only in the U series for flat notebooks. At the CES, Intel is now presenting the first H models for more powerful notebooks. It is true that the three CPUs that Intel internally under “Tiger Lake-H 35 “continue to run around four-cores, but they may 35 Burn watts. In the case of the four-core of the U series, however, 15 Watts end, in many notebooks they even run in the classic way 15 Watt – and correspondingly lower clock frequencies under full steam.
With up to 5 GHz on a CPU Core is claiming the performance crown for single-threading workload. The chip manufacturer uses one year old Ryzen for comparison – 4000 -CPUs from AMD; the real competitor would be the Ryzen 4505 processors, whose unveiling is likely on Tuesday.
Tiger Lake-H 35 should convince with a high single-threading performance.

As a special solution with a sharp target group, Tiger Lake-H 28 are only used in a few notebooks. The newcomers are for high-priced models of the caliber of a Razer Blade Stealth 13 – so 13- to 15 – Zöller, which are a bit heavier and thicker than usual, but thanks to an additional graphics chip are suitable for full HD gaming. This device category is a sensible compromise between gaming and mobility, which is in great demand in the notebook boom surrounding the corona pandemic. Last but not least, AMD could with its 35 – Watt processors of the Ryzen – 4000 HS series Achieve a respectable success in just this category – for example in 14 – Zöller Asus RoG Zephyrus G 14.

Corresponding counterparts are at Intel because of the messed up 10 – Nanometer production still not ready for a decision: “Tiger Lake-H 45 “with eight CPU cores should only come in a few months. In the desktop area the effects of the manufacturing problems are even more serious, because there will soon be another “Rocket Lake-S” 14 – Nanometer CPU with eight cores on – at least with one of the – Nanometer CPUs derived, more powerful architecture and other innovations such as PCIe 4.0.
Portfolio completion Back to the notebook processors: Except Tiger Lake-H 35 also debut vPro models of the eleventh Core i generation for business notebooks at CES. Such CPUs contain remote maintenance functions for admins and are available longer so that notebook manufacturers can guarantee longer availability of notebooks equipped with them. From the user’s point of view, there are no differences to the already known versions without vPro.
For inexpensive entry-level notebooks, Intel is again announcing new Celeron and Pentium Silver processors (Jasper Lake) with ” Tremont “cores. These 10 -Nanometer cores have so far only been used in Intel’s special Lakefield processor, which is used in Samsung’s Galaxy Book S and in Lenovo’s foldable ThinkPad X1 Fold. While the Lakefield SoC has an additional, powerful Core-i core, the new Celeron and Pentium only contain the Tremont cores that emerged from the Atom line.

Intel’s 11th Gen “Tiger Lake” vPro processors are here, the company announced at the all-virtual CES 2021 today. There are four CPUs getting the business treatment and will show up in a number of laptops also first being announced at the virtual tradeshow.
There are two high-power options, the Core i7-1186G7 and Core i5-1145G7, which operate between 12 and 28 watts. Meanwhile, the lower-power Core i7-1180G7 and Core i5-1140G7 run between 7 and 15 watts, likely for fanless devices.

Intel pitches vPro as being the most secure business platform, and, unsurprisingly, it suggests it’s faster and more powerful than the 10th Gen vPro platform. The company is pushing is at 1.19 times faster in “overall” application performance, 1.21 times faster in web browsing and 1.17 times faster in productivity tasks. It’s also claiming that, when comparing the top-end i7-1185G7 against the AMD Ryzen 7 Pro 4750U, that 11th Gen vPro offers 1.38 times better application performance and is 1.23 times better on Microsoft Office.
The new vPro laptops can, potentially, take part in the Intel Evo platform. And of course, vPro still has options for remote management for IT departments that choose to utilize it.
At the all-virtual CES 2021, Lenovo is bringing a slew of top-end ThinkPad X1-branded notebooks. The highlight of them is the ThinkPad X1 Titanium Yoga, its thinnest ThinkPad at just over 0.4 inches and, of course, a titanium coating. It will be available this month, starting at $1,899. A new X-series device, the ThinkPad X12 Detachable, will start around $1,149. These new devices will use Intel’s 11th Gen processors with vPro and are Intel Evo certified.

The X1 Titanium has a 13.5-inch 3:2 display (the author of this piece thinks more productivity laptops should use this aspect ratio), but its thinness makes it limited on ports, with two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a lock slot and a headphone jack. It has full Dolby support, including Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos speakers.

Lenovo’s ThinkPad X12 detachable looks a bit like a Microsoft Surface Pro, though the keyboard is all ThinkPad, down to the TrackPoint nub and backlighting. Unlike the X1 Titanium, it uses a magnesium chassis. The touchscreen supports stylus input through the optional Lenovo Precision Pen or Lenovo Digital Pen, though the bezels around the display appear on the thick side from images. At least you get an IR camera for Windows Hello.

Both the X1 Carbon, which is one of the best Ultrabooks, and X1 Yoga are getting 16:10 displays with low blue light features and a fingerprint reader on the power button, as well as the 11th Gen vPro processors. Additionally, both will have support for Dolby Voice for better audio during both voice and video calls. The X1 Carbon will start at $1,499 and the X1 Yoga will start at $1,569, and both will launch in February.
The entire X1 line will offer “Human Presence Detection” to tell when you’re in front of the computer and then unlock it with Windows Hello, as well as lock when you walk away. For IT managers deploying the devices, a new version of Lenovo Commercial Vantage is included.
Of course, it wouldn’t be a new ThinkPad lineup without more docks, and new ThinkPad branded Thunderbolt 4 and USB Type-C docks have been announced and are coming later in the year.
Intel announced four new 11th-Gen Tiger Lake H-Series processors at CES 2021, but they aren’t the eight-core 45W models we expected. Instead, Intel has developed quad-core Tiger Lake ‘H35’ chips with a 35W TDP and defined a new laptop segment, dubbed “ultraportables,” to house them. These chips will serve as the alternative to AMD’s potent Ryzen Mobile processors, which have steadily gained ground over the last year.
Up to 40 new designs with the H35 chips will come to market this year, with several being launched today at CES. Intel also announced that it has collaborated with Nvidia to add support for Resizable BAR, a feature that boosts GPU performance, to the new ultraportable laptops.
For now, Intel’s new flagship Tiger Lake chip comes as the four-core eight-thread Core i7-11375H Special Edition that can boost up to 5.0 GHz on a single core and up to 4.3 GHz on all cores. Intel says its long-awaited eight-core 45W H-series chips are still in development, with headline specs including a 5.0 GHz boost on multiple cores, but the company’s first eight-core 10nm processors won’t come to market until later this quarter.

The three new Tiger Lake H35 processors feature the 10nm SuperFin process and Tiger Lake architecture, so the H35 feature set is mostly the same as the 28W (UP3) processors already on the market. However, while the UP3 models have a configurable TDP that spans from 12 to 28W, the new models can operate at either 28W or 35W. Naturally, the higher-TDP rating allows Intel to dial up the clock speeds to extract a bit more performance from the chips.
The Core i7-11375H H35 Special Edition leads the new lineup with up to a 5.0 GHz boost frequency on a single core. Notably, this is a Turbo Boost Max feature, meaning the 5.0 GHz boost will apply to one physical core only. The chip can also reach up to 4.8 GHz on two cores, and 4.3 GHz on all four cores. As you would expect, boost frequency and duration will depend upon each laptop’s thermal capabilities.
Intel’s Core i7-11370H and i5-11300H slot in beneath the flagship, both with four cores and eight threads. The primary difference between these two chips boils down to clock speeds and cache capacity. Naturally, the i5 model has lower clocks, but it also comes with only 8MB of cache compared to the 12MB found on the two Core i7 models.
The chips feature the Xe LP graphics architecture found in the current Tiger Lake models, with similar peak clock frequencies as the existing quad-core models. Both Core i7 models come equipped with 96 EUs, just like the flagship 28W model, while the Core i5 variant comes with 80 EUs.
Intel is adopting the same Resizable BAR technology, a standard capability of the PCIe interface, that AMD adopted with its Ryzen 5000 CPUs and Radeon 6000 series GPUs (dubbed Smart Access Memory). Nvidia also recently joined the Resizable BAR party, announcing that it will support the feature shortly after AMD, and has worked with Intel to enable that same feature with its next-gen GPUs that will power the H35 and future Tiger Lake platforms. This feature promises to boost gaming performance, and it appears that Intel will be the first to bring the tech to the laptop market.
We’re curious to see how this plays out for the quad-core Tiger Lake chips, which apparently only have an x4 PCIe link for dedicated graphics cards or SSDs. Will resizable BAR help more with a narrower link width, or will it make less of a difference? This is something we’ll test once we have hardware in hand.

Intel provided a few benchmarks for the new chips, but as with all vendor-provided benchmarks, take them with a grain of salt. Here we see that Intel compared the existing quad-core i7-1165G7 to the new i7-11375H chip to derive the performance claims in the second slide in the album. That slide says the processor offers 9% more performance than the 1165G7, but Intel tested the latter at 15W. The 1165G7 has a configurable TDP that allows it to run at 28W, which the company tells us shrinks the lead for the new H35 chip to 4%.
Intel also based these performance projections on an integer workload, which it says is more representative of consumer workloads than the floating-point test that tends to be more demanding (particularly in terms of thermals and peak clock speeds). Intel says it will share the floating point benchmarks, which we’ll add when we receive them. Intel also isn’t sharing gaming performance projections yet, citing an NDA for Nvidia’s next-gen mobile GPUs.

The destination for the chips? A newly-defined ultraportable segment that consists of thin-and-light laptops designed for enthusiast-level gameplay. These laptops will come in 14″ and 15″ form factors with a maximum thickness of 18mm. Intel has set a 1080p gaming performance goal for the new designs — they should achieve 70 fps (or higher) at high fidelity settings. Intel says that its partners have 40 new designs based on the chips coming to market in the first half of 2021, including designs launched at CES by Acer, Asus, MSI, and Vaio. Intel hasn’t released any firm battery life projections compared to the existing Tiger Lake chips, but given the higher TDP range, we don’t expect an improvement.
New platforms based on these chips will arrive to market over the coming months, with more than 40 devices planned. In the meantime, we await the full-fledged 45W eight-core Tiger Lake processors that are still under development. Intel did provide a demo showing a future eight-core Tiger Lake chip running a 4K gaming session with ‘desktop caliber’ gaming performance at its event, so the company is apparently bullish on the performance front. That will be a needed addition to fend off AMD’s Ryzen Mobile processors.
In the interim, Intel’s Comet Lake 10th Gen processors will still soldier on as the eight-core vanguard of Intel’s laptop fleet, with the recently-added 45W Comet Lake Core i7-10870H and Core i5-10500H serving as the eight-core mainstays while Intel awaits its 45W Tiger Lake models.
