Intel’s 65-watt mobile monster and a mysterious budget employee. There are details about the Core i9-11980HK and Core i5-11260H

Recently, a description of three Intel Tiger Lake-H45 processors was found in the documentation for one of the corporate PCs. These were the Core i5-11400H, Core i7-11800H and Core i9-11900H models.

Then, among other things, we were surprised by the lower base frequencies than those previously featured in all the leaks. Now we have an explanation for this, as well as data on several more CPUs in the upcoming line.

• 11980HK: 2.6-4.5-5.0 GHz @ 45W and 3.3 GHz @ 65W
• 11900H: 2.5-4.4-4.9 GHz @ 45W and 2.1 GHz @ 35W
• 11800H: 2.4-4.2-4.6 GHz @ 45W and 2.0 GHz @ 35W
• 11400H: 2.7-4.1-4.5 GHz @ 45 W and 2.2 GHz @ 35 W
• 11260H: 2.6-4.0-4.4 GHz @ 45W and 2.1 GHz @ 35W

The first three CPUs will have eight cores, the last two will have six cores. As you can see, noticeably lower base frequencies are needed to reduce CPU power consumption. That is, new items with a standard TDP of 45 W will be able to work at a TDP of 35 W. Probably, as always, one or another mode will be initially chosen by the PC manufacturer, so when buying a laptop with Tiger Lake-H45 and wanting to get maximum performance, you will need to select the appropriate model.

We should also highlight the flagship Core i9-11980H, for which a 65-watt mode will be available. However, his predecessor has the same now.

This, by the way, is one of the processors that was not in the previous leak. But we have never heard of the Core i5-11260H (possibly, it will be Core i3-11260H). Not only is this the youngest Tiger Lake-H45 known to us, but it also has a non-standard name. Unfortunately, it is not yet clear why it differs from most of the other processors in the line.
