Intel's Tiger Lake processors appear ready to fight back against AMD in the world of laptop processors The news comes from a leaked benchmark of one of the upcoming 11th generation CPUs that promises solid performance

Several Twitter users posted snapshots of leaked benchmarks of early engineering samples of the Intel Core i7-1185G7 One post shows the chip running at 3 GHz and scoring 1,414 on the Time Spy benchmark

Another regular leaker of benchmarks, APISAK, posted that the Core i7-1185G7 scored a CPU score of 2,922 and a graphics score of 1,296 in the Time Spy CPU test wccftech noted that this graphics score is a good indication that the laptop Intel chips are 5% faster than the AMD Ryzen 4800U, a processor that is stealing Intel's thunder in the laptop arena, Wccftech noted

These results should be taken with a pinch of salt, but paint a positive picture for the next wave of Intel CPUs targeting ultra-portable laptops and 2-in-1 Windows 10 machines

Intel's 10nm Ice Lake processors have shown a decent uptick in both CPU and onboard GPU performance for CPUs in Microsoft's Surface Laptop 3 and Dell's XPS 13 2-in-1 However, the Tiger Lake CPUs use Intel's new Willow Cover core architecture and promise a significant redesign of the Sunny Cove architecture found in Ice Lake chips

As such, Tiger Lake chips should offer improved processor performance and efficiency Graphics performance is also expected to improve significantly, as Intel will use a new Xe GPU for onboard graphics acceleration on this chip

The Ice Lake chip delivered a noticeable improvement in graphics performance over its predecessor, and Tiger Lake is expected to again deliver about double that performance

It is unlikely that we will see Tiger Lake processors before late 2020 However, when Tiger Lake processors do appear, they will be found in many ultra-portable products, including Microsoft's Surface Laptop and Surface Pro, and 2-in-1s from Dell, HP, and Lenovo
