22 PCWorld FEBRUARY 2020NEWS INTEL CONFIRMS TIGER LAKE PROCESSOR
Tiger Lake would offer a “double-digit”
performance increase over the prior
generation. Lisa Pearce, vice president of Intel
architecture, graphics and software, whojoined Bryant onstage, claimed there would
be a “huge leap” in graphics performance,
presumably due to the inclusion of Xe
graphics cores.
Intel closed out its CES
presentation with a “proof of
life” demo of the Xe core,
showing it running part of the
presentation as well as
playing Destiny 2. The first
implementation, which may
be just a prototype, is known
as DG1. Intel executives offer
no actual details, but an Intel
representative did show the
chip to media for
photography.
It’s not known when
Intel expects Tiger Lake and
Xe to arrive. By the end of
2020, however, we should
expect to see both chips on
the horizon.OTHER NEWS
