Intel introduces its Core H CPUs to compete with Ryzen 5000 in laptops

Intel has added five new processors to the consumer range and another five for the professional environment of its 11th generation Intel Core H series codenamed by which they have been known so far: Tiger Lake-H. 

Both groups include three eight-core chips and two other six-core chips. They have a TDP value of 35 W, except for the flagship Core i9-11980HK, which has a higher value that reaches 65 W. They are all intended for notebook computers. 

In fact, Intel says that soon there will be more than 30 ultralight laptops (20 mm or thinner) in which the processors of this new generation that were already available for desktops (Intel Core Rocket Lake-S) will be installed .  

The new processors promise significant performance improvements over the previous 10th Gen Intel Comet Lake, with up to a 19% performance improvement in multithreaded tasks.  

In fact, Intel has placed great hopes in these chips, with which it intends to face its most immediate competitor AMD, which has achieved greater relevance in the laptop market with the good work of the chips belonging to the Ryzen 5000 family. 

See the article where we offer you all the laptops announced with AMD Ryzen 5000 processors.

In the words of Intel, this 11th generation with a 10-nanometer SuperFin manufacturing process, has up to 8 CPU cores and 16 threads, in addition to Turbo Boost mode and the possibility of reaching 5 GHz. 

The CPU can directly access the high-speed GDDR6-type memory that is connected to the graphics chip, allowing gamers and gaming enthusiasts to have a much higher fps range. 

The notebook processor offers 2.5 times the total PCIe bandwidth to the CPU compared to 10th generation H-series processors, and three times the total PCIe bandwidth compared to other processors in the industry.

Among the new features of this generation of chips, the following stand out: 

• Up to 20 PCIe Gen 4.0 lanes with Intel Rapid Storage Technology in Raid 0 - and up to 44 PCIe lanes including 24 PCIe Gen 3.0 lanes.
• Memory support up to DDR4-3200.
• Thunderbolt 4 compatibility with speeds up to 40 Gbps.
• Intel Killer 6E (Gig +) Wi-Fi connectivity to optimize power consumption when using a second display.
• Dual integrated Display Port to improve screen resolution. 

Intel's release also includes the new Intel vPro H-series processors - led by the eight-core Intel Core i9-11950H and the Intel Xeon W-11000 series notebook processors. 

This ensures a host of extras with the more professional market in mind as vPro adds enterprise-specific security features and management tools, including Intel Shield hardware and a host of other security measures. 

 

It is therefore the turn of laptop manufacturers to update and update their laptop configurations, which little by little we will see how they incorporate the use of these new processors to their portfolio of equipment that they put on sale. 

Given the global shortage in the supply of semiconductors and what happened with the shortage of GPUs and advanced graphics aimed at gaming equipment, due to the fact that they are used to encrypt cryptocurrencies, gaming laptops can be a good stimulus for game lovers of PC. 

Thus, these new Intel processors that have now been presented can be a torrent of fresh air for this market in which over the last year it has suffered from a shortage of equipment in stock despite the high demand. 

Take a look at our ranking of the best gaming laptops of the year, some of which already include some of AMD's Ryzen 5000 chipsets in their specifications.
