![]() So what level of performance can you expect from a Tiger Lake laptop? That largely depends on your choice of form factor and design, as manufacturers have been offered almost unfettered freedom to do what they please with Tiger Lake regarding power and performance. (Image credit: Intel) Intel Tiger Lake performance All that comes within a chassis that's just 319 x 219 x 15.9 mm, at its thickest. ![]() Keeping Tiger Lake fed with data in the test platform, we have a 1TB Samsung PM981a PCIe 3.0 SSD (although Tiger Lake does also support PCIe 4.0 drives), 16GB of 4,266MHz effective LPDDR4x memory in a dual-channel configuration, and a full HD 14-inch touchscreen. However, Intel's improvements to the 10nm process, known as 10nm SuperFin (effectively 10nm++), have allowed it to crank up the clock speeds across the board, and that four-core CPU is able to run up to 4.8GHz Turbo. This is also a four-core/eight-thread CPU, and that leaves AMD still resolutely in the lead when it comes to mobile core counts. That's a 50 percent increase in total EU count, and 23 percent increase in clock speed. Intel has bumped the iGPU from 64 EUs running at 1.1GHz with the Core i7 1065G7, to 96 EUs at 1.35GHz with the Core i7 1185G7. Not only has the TDP increased with Tiger Lake, but so has the graphics configuration and clock speed too. At least in synthetic benchmarks, but more on that shortly. It's a feature often used only in moderation, if at all possible on some of the thinner and lighter designs, but one which does offer some tangible benefits. This feature allows Intel to boost Tiger Lake's TDP to 36W for an extended period, dependent on those aforementioned technical metrics. ![]() The difference between best performance and better performance is Intel's Dynamic Tuning.
