| Intel offers a speed of 5.0 GHz for laptops |
Intel launched the 11th generation Tiger Lake H-series processors for laptops in early May and they were very successful.
At the Computex conference in 2021, the company also announced two new chipsets of the 11th generation of the Tiger Lake U series, including the first 5.0 GHz laptop chip.
Intel released the Core i7-1195G7 processor (the highest new chip in the U series) and Core i5-1155G7, which also won the more powerful Intel Core i5 processor crown.
As with the original 11th generation U series chips, the operating voltage of the new chipset ranges between 12 and 28 watts.
The two new chipsets contain four cores and have Intel Iris Xe graphics functions.
Core i7-1195G7 contains 96 themes while Core i5-1155G7 contains 80 themes.
Core i7-1195G7 base speed is 2.9 GHz. With Turbo Boost Max 3.0 technology, up to 5.0 GHz can be achieved at a single base speed.
On the other hand, Core i5-1155G7 has a base speed of 2.5 GHz and a boost speed of 4.5 GHz.
Achieving 5GHz is the latest advancement in laptop processors. Intel's first laptop processor has reached the 5GHz mark in 2019.
Intel 5G Solution 5000:
In addition to the new processor, Intel also announced its latest 5G modem solutions for laptops.
The final solution is a new M.2 card that device manufacturers can incorporate into their designs. It's called Intel 5G Solution 5000.
When Intel sold its 5G smartphone modems division to Apple in July 2019, the company continued work in other areas of next-generation communication standards.
In November 2019, Intel and MediaTek jointly announced a partnership to bring 5G connectivity to their processors.
At the time, MediaTek was developing its own 5G solutions, especially given the burgeoning smartphone processor industry and the demand for solutions competing with Qualcomm and Samsung.
The new modem is the result of a collaboration between Intel, MediaTek and Fibocom. It supports 5G below 6GHz and built-in eSIM technology.
Intel said: Acer, Asus and HP will launch later this year laptops that combine Tiger Lake chips with the new 5G Solution 5000 card.
