Intel has launched the new 11th generation Intel Core H-series mobile processors, which includes the flagship Intel Core i9-11980HK, across the world.
The new line of mobile processors is code-named Tiger Lake-H.
According to the semiconductor chip manufacturer, the Intel Core i9-11980HK provides the highest-performance in laptops for gaming, business professionals, and content creators.
Claiming it to be the best gaming laptop processor, Intel said that the flagship H-series mobile processor can hit speeds of up to 5.0 gigahertz (GHz).
The company said that the new series of mobile processors extend the performance momentum set by the 11th Gen Intel Core H35 series.
Based on 10 nanometer SuperFin process technology, the 11th Gen Intel H-series processors have up to eight cores and 16 threads, with up to 5.0GHz of single and dual-core turbo performance.
The other advantage of the new mobile processors is that the high-speed GDDR6 memory attached to the graphics card can be accessed directly by the central processing unit (CPU). This means gamers can get higher framerates with lower latency, while large textures will load faster.
Intel claimed that compared with the 10th Gen H-series processors, the new mobile processor provides 2.5 times the total PCIe bandwidth to the CPU. When compared with other industry processors, it offers three times the total PCIe bandwidth, said the company.
The new processing platform also includes 20 PCIe Gen 4.0 lanes with Intel Rapid Storage Technology bootable in Raid 0 and also up to 44 total PCIe lanes that have 24 PCIe Gen 3.0 lanes from a dedicated platform controller hub.
Intel corporate vice president and mobile client platforms group general manager Chris Walker said: “11th Gen Intel Core H-series processors take mobile gaming, content creation and commercial workstation systems to new heights.
“These new H-series processors are an exciting extension of our 11th Gen mobile family with double-digit single core and multi-core performance improvements, leading gameplay, direct attached storage and 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes for true enthusiast-level platform bandwidth.”
As part of the worldwide launch, Intel has also rolled out the new Intel vPro H-series processors. These are led by the eight-core and 16-thread Intel Core i9-11950H and Intel Xeon W-11000 series mobile processors, said the company.
Earlier this month, Intel announced an investment of $3.5bn to increase the capacity of its chip manufacturing facility in Rio Rancho in New Mexico.
