Intel has been launching new chips under its 11th generation Tiger Lake lineup and now at Computex 2021, the company has announced a new pair of U-series lower-voltage chips which is aimed at ultrabooks.

The chipmaking giant has announced two chips — Intel Core i7-1195G7 which is the top-of-the-line in the U-series and the Intel Core i5-1155G7, which is the most powerful for the Core i5 range of chips.

Both of these new chips operate in the range of 12W to 28W and come with four core and eight-thread configurations. They also feature Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics — the Core i7-1195G7 comes with 96 EUs, while the Core i5-1155G7 has 80 EUs.

The interesting thing is that while Core i7-1195G7 features the base clock speed of 2.9GHz, but boosts up to a 5.0GHz maximum single-core speed using Intel’s Turbo Boost Max 3.0 technology. On the other hand, the Core i5-1155G7 has a base clock speed of 2.5GHz and a boosted speed of 4.5GHz.

When compared to AMD Ryzen 7 5800U CPU, the Intel Core i7-119G7 CPU can provide 46-178 percent faster performance across games. It is 93 percent faster for video editing, and Intel said that it offers a significant performance upgrade over its competition while running different apps and processes.

Along with these new chips, Intel has also announced Intel 5G Solution 5000 is an M.2 module that has been certified for coverage across the world, including from carriers AT&T and Spring. It is said to deliver download speeds of up to 4.7GB per second and upload speed of up to 1.2GB per second, which is about a five-fold increase in speed over Intel’s Gigabit LTE technology. The modem, which is developed in collaboration with MediaTek and Fibocom, will be available in more than 30 laptop designs by 2022.
