PC chipmaker Intel today released its most recent series of laptop and server processors. The company is facing competition from both Advanced RISC Machines (ARM) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), making the 11th Gen processors — marketed under the Tiger Lake branding — which is vital. Intel however still using the i3, i5 and i7, which has always been marketed by Intel processors, which always have been.
The Comet Lake-S processors have been confirmed for the i9, i7, i5 and i3 cores. The new Core i9-10900 K is at the forefront of the list, offering 10 cores, 20 threads, a 125-W TDP and boost speeds to 5.3 GHz, “the fastest gaming processor in the world” according to Intel.
The new processors support 8 K HDR video playback and Intel reports a 20% rise in daily system performance. Speeds for these processors begin at 3 GHz for i5 and i7 models and increase up to 4.8 GHz with one-core turbo and 4.3 GHz multi-core boosts. I3 models are slower and are designed for cheaper applications. The firm has also introduced its graphics Intel Iris Xe at a max. 1.3GHz level.
Samsung’s Galaxy Book Flex 5 G, laptops from Dell, Acer, Dynabook, HP and Lenovo will receive the Tiger lake chips. Several devices are expected to start worldwide before the end of this year, while many others are expected to arrive in early 2021.
While Intel is the market leader in PC processors, the company has recently been under pressure. The new Processors from Tiger Lake are manufactured using the 10 nm production process, so they are less powerful than AMD’s 7 nm method. AMD has enabled Intel’s demand to increase in the absence of new levels of productivity and strength.
According to figures from Statista.com, Intel lost around 2% of its market share in the second quarter of 2020 as against the first. This quarter, AMD processors reported a market share of about 35.1 per cent, and Intel faded rapidly.
PC developers, on the other hand, we’re also willing to shift towards mobile chipsets. Later this year, when Apple moves its Mac laptops and computers to an ARM-powered mobile chipset, Intel is expected to lose its big business. Companies like Microsoft or HP have made ARM-chipsets with Windows-powered laptops.
ARM chipsets are renowned for eco-friendliness, were neither Intel nor AMD can achieve.
