The new Cypress Cove architecture is said to deliver double-digit gains in IPC which should be enough to put Intel back in the single-core performance throne since AMD and it s Zen 3 lineup completely destroyed Intel s Comet Lake
Xiaomi is well known for its smartphones, but the company acts in various technology segments. A couple of years ago, the company entered the market of portable computers and since then has been providing updates for its Mi Notebook series. Earlier this year, the company unveiled the Mi Notebook Pro 15 2020 with an Intel 10th Gen Comet Lake processer underhood. Now, the company seems to be preparing a new Mi Notebook Pro 2021 model with AMD’s Ryzen 5 5600H CPU and Intel 11th Gen CPU options.
Mi Notebook Pro 2021 Intel variant
The new notebook was benchmarked yesterday as “TIMI Laptop”. The first variant has an 11thn Gen Intel Core i7-11370H processor with 4 cores, 8 threads, and a 12MB L3 cache. Its base frequency is 3.30Ghz, but its maximum frequency is 4.78GHz. The device ran Windows 10 on GeekBench and amassed 1,572 points in the single-core and 5,065 points in the multi-core test.
