Tiger Lake is Intel's codename for the 11th generation Intel Core mobile processors based on the new Willow Cove Core microarchitecture, manufactured using Intel's third-generation 10 nm process node known as 10SF ("10 nm SuperFin"). Tiger Lake replaces the Ice Lake family of mobile processors,[2] representing an Optimization step in Intel's process–architecture–optimization model.

Tiger Lake processors launched on September 2, 2020 are part of the Tiger Lake U family and include dual-core and quad-core 9 W (7-15 W) TDP and 15 W (12-28 W) TDP models.[3] They power 2020 "Project Athena" laptops.[4][5][6] The quad-core 96 EU die measures 13.6 by 10.7 mm (146.1 mm2), which is 19.2% wider than the 11.4 by 10.7 mm (122.5 mm2) quad-core 64 EU Ice Lake die. According to Yehuda Nissan and his team, the architecture is named after a lake across Puget Sound, Washington.[7] Tiger Lake H family of processors is expected to launch in Q1 2021 with an expected TDP of 45 W.

Laptops based on Tiger Lake started to sell in October 2020.[8]

Intel announced it would release eight-core Tiger Lake H CPUs at "a later date".[9]

Architecture changes in comparison with Ice Lake

CPU

  • Intel Willow Cove CPU cores[10]
  • Larger level two and level three (L2/L3) caches
  • New Deep Learning Boost (DL Boost) extensions for built-in AI training acceleration in Xeon processors[11]
  • A new AVX-512 instruction: Vector Pair Intersection to a Pair of Mask Registers (VP2INTERSECT).[12]
  • Control Flow Enforcement Technology to prevent Return Oriented Programming and Jump Oriented Programming hacking techniques[13]
  • Full memory (RAM) encryption[14]
  • Indirect branch tracking and shadow stack[15]
  • Intel Key Locker[16][17]

GPU

  • Intel Xe-LP ("Gen12") GPU with up to 96 execution units[18] (50% uplift compared to Ice Lake) with some yet to be announced processors using Intel's discrete GPU, DG1[19][20]
  • Fixed-function hardware decoding for HEVC 12-bit, 4:2:2/4:4:4; VP9 12-bit 4:4:4 and AV1 10-bit 4:2:0[21][22]
  • Support for a single 8K 12-bit HDR display or two 4K 10-bit HDR displays
  • Hardware accelerated Dolby Vision
  • Sampler Feedback[23][24][25] support
