Chip giant Intel on Monday announced a pair of new 11th Gen U-series chips, one of which marks the first 5GHz clock speed for thin and light laptops.
At the virtual 'Computex 2021' tech event, the company also introduced its first 5G product for the next generation of PC experiences, called Intel 5G Solution 5000, following the previously announced collaboration with MediaTek and Fibocom.
The two new mobile U-series processors with Intel Iris Xe graphics are called Core i7-1195G7 and Core i5-1155G7.
The Core i7-1195G7 is the one that is the most powerful one, achieving 5.0GHz clock speed.
The new 11th Gen mobile chips offer four-core and eight-threads configurations.
