Intel Expands 10th Gen Intel Core Mobile Processor Family
Today, Intel introduced eight additional 10th Gen Intel Core processors for modern laptop computing. The new mobile PC processors (formerly code-named “Comet Lake”) are tailor-made to deliver increased performance scaling for multithreaded workloads while still enabling thin-and-light laptop and 2 in 1 designs.
These processors promise to bring double digit performance gains compared with the previous generation. The lineup also includes Intel’s first 6-core processor in the U-series, faster CPU frequencies, faster memory interfaces, the Intel Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) and broader scaling of Thunderbolt 3. More than 90 additional designs based on the 10th Gen Intel Core processor family will hit the shelves for the holiday season.
Intel says that the new 10th Gen Intel Core processors leverage the improvements in intra-node optimizations on Intel’s 14nm process technology that enable up to 16% overall performance gains and over 41% better productivity and multitasking on Microsoft Office 365 compared with the previous generation — all without compromising battery life.
Earlier this month, Intel launched the first products in 10th Gen Intel Core processor family, which were developed on the 10nm process technology and focus on bringing high-performance artificial intelligence (AI) to the PC at scale. The new processors introduced today share the same platform connectivity, while expanding the family with processors for scaling performance and frequencies.
The new 10th Gen Intel Core processors range from Intel Core i3 to Intel Core i7 and feature:
- Up to 6 cores and 12 threads
- Up to 4.9 GHz max turbo frequency
- Up to 12MB Intel Smart Cache
- Configurable up to 25W for maximum performance (U-series)
- Configurable down to 4.5W for 4-core fanless designs (Y-series)
- Up to 1.15 GHz graphics frequency
- LPDDR4x, LPDDR3, DDR4 memory speed increase to 2666 MT/s

Finally, the new processors scale the number of designs optimized with Intel Adaptix Technology, supporting modern standby for faster wake and enabling multiple voice assistant services built into the PCs. Within Intel Adaptix Technology, Intel Dynamic Tuning Technology enables Intel's OEM partners to tune 10th Gen Intel Core processor-based systems to achieve even more performance — ranging from 8% to 12% on a typical system. On select designs, Intel Dynamic Tuning Technology now offers the first ever AI-based pre-trained algorithms to predict workloads and allow higher turbo burst when responsiveness is needed and extended time in turbo for sustained workloads.
Laptops and 2 in 1s powered by the new 10th Gen Intel Core processors will be available from PC manufacturers for the holiday season. Select systems from PC manufacturers based on 10th Gen Intel Core processors are on track for verification through Intel’s innovation program code-named “Project Athena.” Look for the “Engineered for Mobile Performance” signage online and in retail stores this fall for the best of 10th Gen Intel Core processor-based systems from PC manufacturers.
