8:55 a.m.: It’s almost showtime! Remember to keep refreshing this page for the latest update.
9:00 a.m.: Taking the stage… err, well-appointed living room area, is Gregory Bryant, executive VP and GM of the Client Computing Group. At Intel, we call him “GB.”
GB on navigating these times of COVID-19 and the role technology plays in overcoming challenges and adversities: “Our mission of delivering breakthrough technologies to help enrich the lives of every person on Earth has never rung more true, and the PC is a critical part of that.”
It’s the platform of choice to help people focus, help them create, and in the current environment, help them connect and collaborate with friends, family and coworkers around the world. So we have challenged ourselves, working with all our partners in the industry, to advance the PC platform to make it better.
Now rolls a video with voices from Intel and its partners, talking about developing the future of computing together, including Acer, Microsoft, Best Buy, HP, Dell, Google, Samsung, IQIYI, JD.com, Tripwire, Adobe, JOYY Inc., IDC, Lenovo and Asus.
Intel chief architect Raja Koduri is the first on this webcast to say the name “Tiger Lake”!
9:03 a.m.: Now we’re back with GB but in a lab with several laptops. I feel a drumroll coming.
“Today we are excited to launch the world’s best processor for thin and light laptops: our 11th Gen Intel Core processor.”
Nine new high-performance SKUs across Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7, GB announces. “Best processor Intel has ever built… and it certainly rises about all the imitators.”
GB promises that benchmarks are coming to back up this claim across many usages in productivity, creation, gaming, collaboration and entertainment.
Clockspeed reveal! Up to 4.8 GHz.
Xe graphics is here in Tiger Lake’s integrated GPU.
More AI performance, integrated Thunderbolt 4 and Wi-Fi 6.
GB reveals the starting lineup of systems from Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo, Samsung (with a 5G modem) and Asus. More than 50 designs in market for holiday, and over 150 designs in total.
