Intel’s Alder Lake chipset is expected to be launched in the next few months, just over a year after the company launched the 11th-generation Tiger Lake series of processors currently used in notebook and desktop computers. The company will still provide 10nm chipsets in 2021, and AMD and Apple have switched to 7nm and 5nm processors that provide better performance and energy efficiency. The upcoming Alder Lake series is also expected to use the same 10nm technology instead of the Intel 4 technology node that will bring 7nm in the future.
Last year, when Intel announced the launch of the Tiger Lake mobile processor, the company also revealed the blueprint for its Intel Evo project, which is a rebranding of the company’s Athena project. It allows manufacturers to ship devices with the Intel Evo brand, provided they meet certain Intel hardware specifications.
These are designed to create better and more durable thin and light notebook computers. This means that Intel Evo-certified devices must provide adequate responsiveness, a full HD resolution battery for more than 9 hours, wake up from sleep within one second, fast charging, Wi-Fi 6 and Thunderbolt 4 support. We recently checked the Intel Evo-certified Dell XPS 13 (9310) and learned how the device performs with the Intel Core i7-1185G7 chipset. We found that Ultrabooks can handle most tasks with ease, and the Intel Iris Xe graphics card also provides impressive performance. Today, let’s take a look at the HP Envy X360 equipped with the i7-1165G7 chipset released earlier this year to see how it performs after being certified as Intel’s best laptop.
