Intel’s next generation of mobile processors, codenamed “Tiger Lake,” will help improve machine learning and artificial intelligence on mobile workstations, with high performance gains and a new Xe graphics architecture touted for the chip line.
Chips under the Tiger Lake codename will be made using Intel’s already-established 10nm+ process, but will include a variety of extra optimizations to improve performance. The changes included in the mobile-oriented processor is claimed by Intel EVP Gregory Bryant to include “groundbreaking advances in every vector and experience that matters.”
As a “first-look” of the processor, the CES 2020 presentation offered a general overview for the chips, which will have optimizations for the CPU, AI accelerators, and the GPU to achieve “double-digit performance gains.”
The GPU will be based on Intel’s new Xe graphics architecture, an integrated graphics system that will offer “discrete-level” performance, at least double that of earlier versions. This potentially saves vendors like Apple from having to add a separate discrete GPU in their products, as is the case with the 16-inch MacBook Pro line, and some earlier models.
