In the tenth generation of Intel Core mobile processors, two families coexist simultaneously: 10-nm Ice Lake and 14-nm Comet Lake. It seems that the manufacturer liked this approach, and according to rumors, the next generation of Core will again feature both 10nm and 14nm mobile processors – Tiger Lake and Rocket Lake, respectively.
This was reported on the Chinese forum PTT source of leaks with the pseudonym Shark Bay. In addition, he provides some data on the characteristics of future Intel mobile and desktop processors, which are due out later this or early next year.
Tiger Lake-Y mobile processors with a TDP level of 4.5 to 9 W can offer up to four cores and eight threads. They will have twelfth-generation integrated graphics (Intel Xe) level GT2. Tiger Lake-U processors will only differ with a higher TDP level from 15 to 28 W, and accordingly with higher frequencies – up to 4.5 GHz, according to rumors.

It is also reported that Intel is preparing a processor family for productive Tiger Lake-H laptops with a TDP level of 45 watts. They can offer up to eight cores and sixteen threads, as well as up to 24 MB of cache in the third level and up to 10 MB of cache in the second level (1.25 MB per core).
All processors in the Tiger Lake family will support AVX-512 instructions. In terms of memory, Tiger Lake-H and Tiger Lake-U will be able to work with DDR4-3200, and Tiger Lake-U and Tiger Lake-Y will work with LPDDR4x-4266. Y-series models will receive support for Thunderbolt 3, and U- and H-series models will receive Thunderbolt 4. In addition, Tiger Lake-H processors will receive support for Two-Level Memory (2LM) and Software Guard Extensions (SGX) technologies.
In parallel, the Rocket Lake family for the mobile segment is preparing Rocket Lake-U models with a TDP level of 15 watts. These processors will be able to offer up to six cores and twelve threads, as well as less productive integrated graphics Intel Xe GT1 class. These processors will also offer support for AVX-512 instructions and SGX technology. They will be able to work with memory standards DDR4-2933 and LPDDR4x-3733.

Finally, the source mentions the Rocket Lake-S desktop processors, which recently revealed quite a lot of details. Now it’s reported that they will offer up to eight cores and sixteen threads, as well as integrated Intel X graphicse GT1 class. These processors will be executed in the LGA 1200 package, which may indicate their compatibility with motherboards both on Intel 400 series chipsets, which will be released together with Comet Lake-S, and on Intel 500 series series logic boards, which come out with them.
