Despite the fact that Intel has not yet released the long-awaited 10nm Ice Lake processors, it is already actively working on their successors - Tiger Lake. And one of these processors was discovered by a known leaker with the alias KOMACHI ENSAKA in the UserBenchmark benchmark database.
To begin with, let us remind you that the release of Tiger Lake processors is expected next year, 2020. They will be produced using a 10nm process technology and will offer an improved Willow Cove architecture, and will also boast integrated graphics with Intel Xe architecture. For comparison, Ice Lake processors will have Sunny Cove architecture and eleventh generation graphics (Gen11).
According to the benchmark data, a certain Tiger Lake Core Y-series processor (TGL-Y) was tested. As you know, this series includes processors with the lowest power consumption and “stripped-down” characteristics, which are used in the most compact devices, such as tablets and hybrid laptops. The fact that the Tiger Lake processor was tested as part of a certain compact device is indirectly confirmed by the presence of LPDDDR4x memory, as well as the fact that it has built-in Gen12 LP (Low Powered) graphics.
The tested unknown Tiger Lake-Y processor has four cores and eight threads, its base frequency is 1,2 GHz, and the average turbo frequency reaches 2,9 GHz, according to the test. It’s also worth noting that during the testing process, according to UserBenchmark, the processor throttled its frequencies quite significantly, so its maximum frequencies remain unknown for now. Also note that this is most likely an engineering sample, and their frequencies are lower than those of the final versions of processors.
When compared with the current quad-core Core i7-8559U of the Coffee Lake generation, the Tiger Lake-Y chip shows only a few percent lower performance in single- and multi-core UserBenchmark tests. Tiger Lake-Y also shows superiority over the Ryzen 7 3750H in almost all tests. However, it is important to remember that this benchmark does not have the best reputation, so you should not judge performance only by these results.
