I love the tiny asterisk textIntel999 - Wednesday, September 2, 2020 - link
Did they say what memory was being used in the benchmarks?I suspect that Tiger Lake used the uber fast LPDDR5 stuff that no OEM is going to use except for in fringe cases due to cost.
Any comments by Intel on volume that they think they can produce?
I can't wait for Ian's follow up article tearing apart the biased benchmarks for this paper launch.
At least the few units they can get out into the market should help a little in allowing AMD to hopefully finally get close to meeting demand for Renoir.
What I find comical is the enthusiasm that some apparent Intel fanboys are showing on this message board for a product that isn't as good as Intel has suggested and is nowhere close to being a high volume product.
It's almost like these posters having been waiting years for something to get excited about and now it has arrived and they can't control themselves even though deep down a part of them knows that, at best, anything Intel claims is a half truth and at worst a complete falsehood.
At least they will have a day in the sun to spread their wings until this entire presentation is tore apart and revealed as the con job it most likely is.

Interesting that Apple picked this product cycle to dump Intel for their own ARM designs. Those first-gen ARM laptop chips are going to have to be very, very good.If they're not, and can't compete with Tiger Lake laptops, they're going to wish they'd waited another year or more before making the switch.

Anyone notice how they said "imitators"? Really, Intel? So it has come down to this, eh? Who licensed and copied x86-64 from AMD? Your imitator somehow got the idea of using and IMPLEMENTING chiplets in their CPU design? Why did you bother comparing your GPU performance to that of the "imitators"? Oh, maybe that's coz your Chief Architect was formerly working for your imitator? Who's imitating who?ellawilson - Friday, September 4, 2020 - link
Engineering students made easy intel development in the field of technology. The trigger lake launch by intel help to us in different ways. I am happy to say that now you can take engineering help from https://www.australiabesttutor.com/engineering-ass...MDD1963 - Saturday, September 5, 2020 - link
That LOGO! My GOD! Now it is white...with a blue dot! How revolutionary!It's full of stars...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When will we see this on desktops? Waiting not-so patiently for PCIe4 and DDR5 to build a new rig.JACK4888 - Sunday, September 6, 2020 - link
The last announcement by Intel on its "newest" chip was more of a bash of the "competitor" than facts about it own Intel device(s). Trying to remember the Intel 11th gen CPU designation is like trying to remember UPC codes. Before that was the big deal about Intel's new logo. Oh, please it is sounding like a political ad all fluff no substance. All I remember from the comparison was AMD 4800U. And there is Intel's 11th generation. What they have no designation other than the nebullous 11th gen?JACK4888 - Sunday, September 6, 2020 - link
This web site of jpg is not helpful at all. The advert & PR people need another job. Like coming up with catchy names the public and tech guys like me will remember and an idea of pricing & availability.
