Intel Whiskey Lake-R for laptops, will be based on 14nm and provide better frequencies

It appears that Intel is working on Intel Whiskey Lake-R processors, which will be developed in the 14nm +++ process, optimized for the portable market.

Intel's problems with 10nm are well known, that's why it is stretching the 14nm gum, ad nauseam. Intel hopes to release eight-core processors based on 14nm shortly. All the information indicates that it will be Coffee Lake and everything indicates that it will be like this for the gaming and mainstream range, but Intel also hopes to launch the Whiskey Lake, which is intended for the segment of portable equipment, which would improve performance significantly between 15-20% more performance compared to other generations.

Whiskey Lake in 14nm for the portable market with more performance.

Currently on the market we find the Kaby Lake-R for the portable segment and the Whiskey Lake is expected to be the perfect replacement, as they will offer improved frequencies as well as better energy efficiency. These new Intel processors will be based on 14nm, possibly 14nm +++, although there are applications that speak of 14nm ++. These new Intel processors will also offer support for LPDDR4 memory.

Whiskey Lake-R is expected to offer a significant improvement over Kaby Lake-R. These processors will have the advantage of having improvements in Turbo Boost technology. It is expected that these processors, at any given time, can reach up to 4.2GHz in mobile processors with a maximum TDP of 25W. As we mentioned, the performance was expected to be improved between 15-20% performance over Kaby Lake-R.

Finally, these processors could use the same graphics used in the current Kaby Lake-R and Coffee Lake-U architecture, as there is no record of a modification or performance improvements from Intel. We assume that during Computex, we will see more data about it.
