We’ve just given five good reasons to wait for a 10th-generation CPU in your next laptop, but the 8th-generation family is hardly obsolete. Five reasons you don’t have to wait for Intel’s 10th-generation CPU in your next laptop Intel Intel’s Gen11 graphics cores offer significantly better performance than the previous graphics cores. With its support for VESA Adaptive Sync, gaming on 10th-gen parts should be far smoother, too. Intel says the new Gen11 graphics in the 10th-gen CPUs can hit 1 teraflop of performance and is capable of 1080p gaming. Intel’s integrated graphics have been the butt of gamer’s jokes for years, but the reworked graphics cores in the 10th-gen chips take a big step forward. 10th gen will be significantly faster for gaming
While that’s plenty for most people, those editing photos or using large memory-footprint applications will finally be able to add more RAM with the move to LPDDR4X. The current LPDDR3 memory limits both memory bandwidth and memory amount-laptops that use it max out at 16GB of RAM.
The other real benefit will be the amount of memory. The obvious improvement is about 50 percent more memory bandwidth, which will aid everything from application performance (a little) to games (a lot). 10th-gen finally supports faster (and more) memoryĪ very welcome change with Intel’s 10th-gen chips is support for LPDDR4X RAM.
If you’re going to build out your home with a new Wi-Fi 6 router system, you’ll feel pretty burned with your pathetic Wi-Fi 5 laptop that can’t use it.Ĥ. It supports the 5GHz operating frequency as well. As our Macworld colleague Jason Cross writes in his Wi-Fi 6 explainer, the new standard should give you much faster speeds at 2.4GHz, with better juggling of multiple devices. The other real nice icing on the cake is that 10th-gen laptops will likely all have Wi-Fi 6, the wireless networking standard formerly known as 802.11ax. With 10th-gen chips, users get the feature, while PC makers save on cost and space inside the laptop. This hasn’t been the case up to now: Thunderbolt 3 support has been an option available to laptop makers via a discrete Thunderbolt 3 controller from Intel. In one of the biggest integrations since Intel stuffed graphics into the 2nd-gen Sandy Bridge CPUs, Intel said it has included Thunderbolt 3 in its 10th-gen CPUs. 10th-gen chips will have Thunderbolt 3 and Wi-Fi 6 Add to that a new Dynamic Tuning 2.0 feature that more efficiently manages the Turbo Boost capability, and the 10th-gen chips are easily going to outpace previous chips despite running at slightly lower clock speeds. The Sunny Cove cores in the 10th-gen chips are “faster, wider” (according to Intel) and basically increase the IPC (instructions per clock) by roughly 18 percent over the cores used in the previous 8th-gen chips. 10th gen is going to be faster for applications
