Intel 11th Gen Tiger Lake CPU & NVIDIA GeForce MX450 'Turing GPU' Powered Lenovo's Next-Gen Yoga Notebooks Leak Out

Lenovo's adjacent-generation Yoga series notebooks with Intel's latest 11th Gen Tiger Lake CPUs and NVIDIA's GeForce GPUs based on the Turing architecture have leaked out. The leak comes from various sources, primarily NotebookCheck (via Videocardz) who have compiled the info & provided the details for Lenovo's upcoming lineup of notebooks.

Lenovo's Next-gen Yoga Series Notebooks With Intel's 11th Gen Tiger Lake & NVIDIA'due south GeForce MX/GTX Turing GPUs Leak Out

The next-generation Lenovo Yoga notebook lineup for 2020 will include a range of products in the Yoga ix and Yoga seven categories. The Lenovo Yoga 7 volition come in Yoga Slim 7, Yoga Slim 7 Carbon, and the Yoga Slim 7 Pro variants while the Yoga nine series volition feature the Yoga Slim 9 & the regular Yoga 9 variants. The original source behind the leak is twitter user WalkingCat or @h0x0d.

Lenovo Yoga vii Series Notebooks

Let's kickoff off with the Yoga seven series notebooks which include the 3 variants mentioned above. All 3 variants are powered by Intel's 11th Generation Tiger Lake-U CPU with the specific variant existence the Core i7-1165G7. Nosotros've seen several leaks of this flake and in terms of specifications, it has iv cores & eight threads on a brand new 10nm+ process node. Forth with the enhanced procedure, these new cores also use the Willow Cove core compages which is expected to deliver major IPC gains over Sunny Cove cores which were featured on 10th Generation Ice Lake CPUs. From what nosotros take seen in leaked benchmarks, the Core i7-1165G7 features a two.8 GHz base clock, upward to 4.vii GHz boost clock, and 12 MB of L3 enshroud.

In addition to the updated CPU cores, these Tiger Lake CPUs also come with the brand new Intel Iris Xe graphics fleck based on the adjacent-gen Xe graphics compages. The GPU features 96 EUs or 768 stream processors and clocks in around 1300 MHz. We've seen some great performance data from this bit and it delivers a good lead over the competing discrete and integrated GPUs such as the NVIDIA MX300 series and AMD's 7nm Vega integrated graphics.

Simply in addition to the onboard Iris Xe graphics, Lenovo volition requite a choice of NVIDIA GPU to users & those choices volition include either an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 or the NVIDIA GeForce MX450. Now the GeForce GTX 1650 mobility GPU has been out in the market for a while now merely the MX450 has still to make an official appearance.

Previous leaks accept suggested that the MX450 will be powered by the TU117 GPU and feature up to two GB of GDDR6 VRAM. It will definitely fall beneath the GTX 1650 in terms of functioning despite the use of the same GPU due to a constrained TDP & cutting-down design merely will offer higher battery times.

The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 and the Yoga Slim 7 Carbon volition feature a 13.3" display with a native 2560 x 1600p resolution and a 16:10 attribute ratio. Both devices volition be powered by a 50Wh battery. The Pro variant will feature a 14" display and a 2K resolution (xvi:10 aspect ratio) with 400 nits brightness. The screen volition come with a 90Hz refresh rate and apparently, the Pro variant will be the only one with option to select from the two NVIDIA discrete GPUs while the standard Slim variants volition be powered by its integrated Iris Xe graphics flake.

The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro will weight in at 1.45kg while the other two variants will likely weight close to 1kg. The Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 is rated to deliver up to 16 hours of battery life but I believe the standard variants volition fare better in terms of battery life since they don't characteristic detached GPU or a higher refresh charge per unit screen.

Lenovo Yoga 9 Serial Notebooks

The Lenovo Yoga 9 series will include the two 15.6" and a single 14" variant. Both the Lenovo Yoga nine and the Yoga Slim 9 are 15.half-dozen" variants which characteristic 4K panels and are VESA HDR 400 certified & back up Dolby Vision. The laptops are stated to use the Intel Tiger Lake Core i7 CPUs too but it'due south non known which specific variant is Lenovo going to offering on them.

For example, the Core i7-1165G7 isn't the fastest chip in the Tiger Lake family. The Core i7-1185G7 has as well been spotted and it'south possible that the Yoga ix series could end up making use of them or they will but employ the Cadre i7-1165G7 similar the residue of the lineup. Yoga 9 will weigh in at 1.42 kg with a thickness of 16mm while the Yoga Slim ix will weigh in at i.ii kg with a thickness of 13.9-14.6 mm. The Lenovo Yoga ix will take an 18-hour bombardment life while the Yoga Slim 9 volition evangelize 16 hours of full battery life on a single charge.

At that place'south currently no word on the pricing and release date of these notebooks but Intel has teased a launch of 'Something Big' for September 2nd and so we may be getting an official announcement from Intel soon and it makes sense since the Tiger Lake CPUs were planned for a Summer 2020 launch.
