Intel’s Tiger Lake 10nm CPUs have resurfaced at Geekbench, highlighting their single and multi-core performance metrics compared to existing processors. The Intel Tiger Lake-U CPU family is expected to be launched next year, with a completely new chip architecture and a next-generation Xe iGPU.
An 8-wire, 4-core Tiger Lake-U chip appears on the Geekbank
Previously we saw a Tiger Lake-Y CPU entrance at Geekbench. The entry wasn’t exciting at all because the score was pretty low, but it indicated the new redesign of the cache that Intel’s Tiger Lake CPUs would offer. The new entries refer to the Tiger Lake-U line optimized for a 15-25W TDP and seen by TUM_APISAK.
We find the same configuration for the new Intel Tiger Lake-U inputs with 4 cores and 8 threads at a clock frequency of 1.20 GHz (base frequency). Tiger Lake CPUs have 3 MB L3 cache per core and 1.25 MB L2 cache per core. This would mean that the Tiger Lake U chips have a total of 12 MB L3 cache and 5 MB L2 cache.
Performance Results
In terms of performance, the two models provide almost similar results. One configuration includes 16GB of LPDDR4 memory, while the other includes 8GB of DDR4 SODIMM. The 16GB configuration scores 1162 points in single-core and 4047 points in the multi-core benchmark. The 8GB configuration has a better score of 1189 points in the single-core and 4274 points in the multi-core benchmark. Both scores are much higher than the Tiger Lake-Y CPU we saw a month ago, showing that these chips were still in early development when tested.
Compared to some existing processors, the 14 nm Comet Lake-U and the 10 nm+ Ice Lake-U, the Tiger Lake-U processors show a promising performance. The fastest Core i7-10710U Comet Lake-U chip with 6 cores, 12 threads and an upper 1.61 GHz base clock was passed by the Tiger Lake-U chip in single and multi-core performance tests. The Core i7-1065G7, based on Ice Lake-U, has a higher score on one or more cores, but is also available with a higher clock frequency of 1.5 GHz. In addition, a single core score is achievable for Tiger Lake U processors, and a 10nm++ 1.5GHz piece can easily outperform the Ice Lake-based chip.
Intel Tiger Lake processors are expected to arrive in 2020 and present some new architectural changes. We’ll keep you informed.
