Intel’s finally lifted the veil off its next-gen, high-performance laptop processors. Dubbed Tiger Lake-H-series, these chips feature a modern architecture (Willow Cove), new manufacturing process (10-nanometer SuperFin process technology), and more importantly, potential double-digit performance gains in gaming as well as productivity workloads. The 45 in the name indicates the TDP or Thermal Design Power of the processors. It’s a number that indicates the amount of heat that needs to be dissipated when under load for the processor to perform as specified. Generally speaking, mainstream laptops and Ultrabooks will operate in the 7-15 W range, with more powerful workstations and gaming laptops sticking to the 15-25 W range. Anything above that, like Tiger Lake-H-series 35-65 W range, is in the high-end laptop category. The crème de la crème of the laptop world, so to speak. Interestingly, with processors like those of the more powerful 11th Generation Intel® Core™ H-series, gaming l...
