Intel has bolstered its mobile lineup with new Tiger Lake-H processors, bringing higher core counts and new features for faster enthusiast laptops and mobile workstations.
Announced on Tuesday, the new Tiger Lake-H processors use the Willow Cove core architecture made using Intel’s 10nm SuperFin transistors. According to Intel, Willow Cove boasts up to 20 per cent IPC uplift compared to Sunny Cove, the core architecture of the 10th gen Ice Lake mobile processors.
Tiger Lake-H also comes with a trove of new features with the most notable being PCIe 4.0, Thunderbolt 4, and Wi-Fi 6.
Typically, Intel appends the “H” suffix mobile processor names that have higher performance. These are often used for gaming laptops and mobile workstations. With their introduction, Tiger Lake mobile processors now have three performance tiers: Tiger Lake-H for enthusiast computing, Tiger Lake H35 for mainstream performance, and UP3 for ultraportables.
Intel has unleashed a new wave of 11th-generation Core processors, this time built for those who need a mobile workstation capable of doing heavier lifting for content creation and business applications than the increasingly popular ultra-thin laptops entering the market.
The new Core H-Series lineup, code-named Tiger Lake H, includes five Core and Xeon CPUs that come with Intel’s vPro platform capabilities for enterprise management, security and reliability, expanding upon the first batch of 11th-generation vPro processors that came out for ultra-thin laptops at the beginning of the year. New platform capabilities include support for DDR4 memory, Thunderbolt 4, 20 lanes of PCIe 4.0, Intel Killer Wi-Fi 6E, CPU-connected storage as well as Optane H20 storage.
Ever since the launch of the first series of Intel Core 11
th Generation Tiger Lake processors aimed at the ‘U-series’ 15 W market, Intel has teased us that there was another design being produced in the wings. While the Tiger Lake-U was built for portability, battery life, and integrated graphics, the Tiger Lake-H series would double the cores, and be the partner for premium mobile gaming as well as on-the-go muscle. Today is the launch of this new platform, and Intel is promoting over 1 million Tiger Lake-H processors shipped to partners and 80 devices coming to market.

Intel Launches 11th-Gen Core, Xeon vPro CPUs For Mobile Workstations
The chipmaker’s new 10-nanometer CPUs for high-end laptops, code-named Tiger Lake H, go up to 5GHz and eight cores for demanding content creation and business applications, and Intel says they can best rival AMD across multiple applications. ‘If performance improves productivity, these new CPUs will drive productivity increases,’ an Intel rep says.

Intel has unleashed a new wave of 11th-generation Core processors, this time built for those who need a mobile workstation capable of doing heavier lifting for content creation and business applications than the increasingly popular ultra-thin laptops entering the market.
Intel has announced new 11th Gen Core H-series, vPro and Xeon processors. Aimed at gaming and business, these new high-performance CPU options should push the envelope for mobile processors.
The new Core H processors, led by the flagship Core i9-11980HK, use Intel’s 10nm ‘SuperFin’ process technology, feature up to eight cores and 16 threads and have both single- and dual-core turbo performance up to 5GHz. Additionally, Intel notes that the H-series chips can directly access the fast GDDR6 memory attached to the GPU to help deliver higher frame rates and reduce latency.
Intel’s Core H lineup includes chips for ultraportable, thin gaming laptops as well as chunkier models designed to handle the latest titles at high settings. And, thanks to the new ‘Willow Cove’ core architecture, Intel says the 11th Gen H-series chips boast a 19 percent gen-on-gen improvement to multi-threaded performance.
