At its recent virtual conference, Intel unveiled two new 11th-Gen processors under its Tiger Lake U-series. The announcement comes right after the company announced new 11th-Gen Core H-series processors for laptops and portables. However, along with the new U-series processors, Intel also announced its first-ever 5G-ready product called Intel 5G Solution 5000.
Starting with the new Intel Core i7-1195G7 processor, it is the first TGL-U processor that can reach up to 5.0 GHz via the company’s “favored core” technology dubbed the turbo Boost Max 3.0. The 4-core/8-threads processor also has a 2.9 GHz base frequency, a 4.6 GHz all-core frequency, and Intel Iris XE integrated graphics (clocked at 1400MHz). Plus, the processor will support up to 64GB of DDR4-3200 RAM or up to 32GB of LPDDR4X-4266 RAM.
Now, turning to the first-ever 5G-ready module from the chipmaker, the Intel 5G Solution 5000 is developed in partnership with MediaTek and Fibocom. The company sold off its 5G unit to Apple back in 2019. Following this, Intel announced its partnership with MediaTek to jointly develop 5G modems for laptops and the Intel 5G Solution 5000 is the result of that venture.
