Tiger Lake is Intel's codename for the 11th generation Intel Core mobile processors based on the Willow Cove Core microarchitecture, manufactured using Intel's third-generation 10 nm process node known as 10SF ("10 nm SuperFin"). Tiger Lake replaces the Ice Lake family of mobile processors,[4] representing an optimization step in Intel's process–architecture–optimization model.

Tiger Lake processors launched on September 2, 2020. They are part of the Tiger Lake-U family (however, they end with the suffixes -G4 and -G7 instead of -U) and include dual-core and quad-core 9 W (7–15 W) TDP and 15 W (12–28 W) TDP models.[5] They power 2020 Intel Evo laptops.[6][7][8] The quad-core 96 EU die measures 13.6 × 10.7 mm (146.1 mm2), which is 19.2% wider than the 11.4 × 10.7 mm (122.5 mm2) quad-core 64 EU Ice Lake die. The 8-core 32 EU die used in Tiger Lake-H is around 190 mm2.[9] According to Yehuda Nissan and his team, the architecture is named after a lake across Puget Sound, Washington from Seattle.[10] Laptops based on Tiger Lake started to sell in October 2020.[11]

The Tiger Lake-H35 processors were launched on January 11, 2021. These quad-core processors are designed for "ultraportable gaming" laptops with 28-35 W TDP.[12] Intel officially launched the 11th generation Intel Core-H series and Xeon W-11000M series on May 11, 2021[13] and announced the 11th generation Intel Core Tiger Lake Refresh series (1195G7 and 1155G7) on May 30, 2021.[14]
