Intel 11th Gen Tiger Lake-U CPUs Discontinued

[T0@st]

Intel is in the process of discontinuing its eleventh generation Tiger Lake-U CPU lineup according to the company's own Product Change Notification (PCN) system. Team Blue's database points to the final batch of (x86 Willow Cove architecture) processors getting shipped out on December 29, with an October 2023 cutoff point for last orders. These 11th Gen Core units (with Iris Xe iGPUs) have been part of laptops, mobile devices and small-form-factor (SFF) systems since launching in 2020. Intel started the end-of-life (EOL) for more powerful variants (some Tiger Lake-H models and the entire Tiger Lake-B range) back in April of this year.

Tiger Lake was an early example of a 10 nm++ SuperFin product, with improved production yields leading to the creation of high performance gaming laptop CPUs (the aforementioned H and B models), alongside the basic low power U-series. Intel has also added Tiger Lake-H35 models to the discontinuance list (totaling 42 models), and a trio of 500-series chipsets that were designed to accommodate their embedded 11th generation processor family: RM590E, HM570E and QM580E. Plenty of Tiger Lake-based stock still exists on the market, but Intel will be very keen to clear that excess - in favor of making way for its 12th and 13th generation product ranges.

About time...
Next gen is always better..

Tiger Lake was the first sign of improvement in the 10nm, now named Intel 7, process. Unlike Ice Lake, it had frequencies comparable to older 14 nm products, and like its predecessor, it had the IPC to beat the Skylake refreshes.

Not necessarily, TGL is still the only (recent) non enterprise/HPC chip with the full fat AVX512.

Out with the old, in with the new (and moar expensive !)

Rocket Lake is more recent than TGL and it also had a full AVX512 implementation.

RKL is TGL backported to 14nm, they're basically the same.

No, it's Ice Lake/Sunny Cove in 14nm.

This is a smart play for many reasons. One reason in particular for several Northern Hemisphere markets is we don't need to buy heaters in the summer.

Yeah this is what I read too. Rocket Lake uses cypress cove cores that are based definitely14nm backported 10nm Sunny cove cores
