Intel Tiger Lake-U can be seen on GeekBench offering great performance

CES 2020 has let us see a large number of products and product presentations that will arrive in the future. One of these future products seen in Las Vegas are the Intel Tiger Lake-U processors. In the GeekBench 5.1.0 software it has let us see a 4-core and 8-thread processor. This processor has been developed for portable computers and would be based on 10nm + lithography.

We see that 10nm lithography works well for silicon intended for notebook computers due to the size. It seems that producing simple processors and with a small DIE size does not give problems, but the monolithic problems for desktops would be causing problems in their mass production.

Benchmark of an Intel Tiger Lake-U

Intel's Tiger Lake-U is based on the Willow Cove architecture. These processors implement Intel Xe Gen12 graphics, which are expected to perform well. His time at GeekBench lets us see a low-power processor and tight performance.

As GeekBench lets us see, this Tiger Lake-U has 4 cores and 8 threads at a base frequency of 2.3GHz. Unfortunately the software does not show us the frequency in Boost mode. But the most interesting data is the performance in mononucleus, yielding a result of 1400 points.

We can see a significant improvement in the CPI, showing that this new architecture is very good. The AMD Ryzen 9 3950X single-core processor gives us 1312 points. Only the Intel Core i9-9900KS processor outperforms this notebook processor from Intel in mononore.

Regarding multicore performance, this notebook processor offers a similar score to the 5-core, 9400-thread Core i6-6 working at a base frequency of 2.9GHz and reaching 4.1GHz in Boost mode.

It gives us a glimpse that Intel's 10nm are very good, but unfortunately for desktop they do not arrive. Unfortunately until the end of 2021 we will not see the 10nm desktop processors.
