Tiger Lake is Intel's codename for the 11th generation Intel Core mobile processors based on the new Willow Cove Core microarchitecture, manufactured using Intel's third-generation 10 nm process node known as 10SF ("10 nm SuperFin"). Tiger Lake replaces the Ice Lake family of mobile processors,[3] representing an Optimization step in Intel's process–architecture–optimization model.

Tiger Lake processors launched on September 2, 2020, are part of the Tiger Lake-U family and include dual-core and quad-core 9 W (7–15 W) TDP and 15 W (12–28 W) TDP models.[4] They power 2020 "Project Athena" laptops.[5][6][7] The quad-core 96 EU die measures 13.6 × 10.7 mm (146.1 mm2), which is 19.2% wider than the 11.4 × 10.7 mm (122.5 mm2) quad-core 64 EU Ice Lake die. The 8-core 32 EU die used in Tiger Lake-H is around 190 mm2.[8] According to Yehuda Nissan and his team, the architecture is named after a lake across Puget Sound, Washington.[9] Laptops based on Tiger Lake started to sell in October 2020.[10]

The Tiger Lake-H35 processors were launched on January 11, 2021. These quad-core processors are designed for "ultraportable gaming" laptops with 28-35 W TDP.[11] Intel also announced that the Tiger Lake-H processors with 45 W TDP and up to eight cores will become available in Q1 2021.[12] Intel officially launched 11th Gen Intel Core-H series on May 11, 2021 [13] and announced 11th Gen Intel Core Tiger Lake Refresh series on May 30, 2021.[14]

GPU[]

IPU[]

  • Image Processing Unit, a special co-processor to improve image and video capture quality
  • Not available on embedded models
  • Initially there were 1165G7, 1135G7, 1125G4 and 1115G4 models with no IPU but later embedded processors were introduced instead

I/O[]

  • PCI Express 4.0[32] (Pentium and Celeron CPUs are limited to PCI Express 3.0)
  • Integrated Thunderbolt 4 (includes USB4)
  • LPDDR4X-4267 memory support
  • LPDDR5-5400 "architecture capability" (Intel expected Tiger Lake products with LPDDR5 to be available around Q1 2021 but never released them)[33][34][35]
  • Miniaturization of CPU and motherboard into an M.2 SSD-sized small circuit board[22]

Hardware telemetry[]

  • Add Intel Platform Monitoring Technology[36]

List of Tiger Lake CPUs[]

Mobile processors (Tiger Lake-H)[]

  • All models support DDR4-3200 memory
  • All models support 20 reconfigurable PCI Express 4.0 lanes, allowing x16 Gen 4 link for discrete GPU and x4 Gen 4 link for M.2 SSDs
