The other real nice icing on the cake is that 10th-gen laptops will likely all have Wi-Fi 6, the wireless networking standard formerly known as 802.11ax. With 10th-gen chips, users get the feature, while PC makers save on cost and space inside the laptop.
This hasn’t been the case up to now: Thunderbolt 3 support has been an option available to laptop makers via a discrete Thunderbolt 3 controller from Intel. In one of the biggest integrations since Intel stuffed graphics into the 2nd-gen Sandy Bridge CPUs, Intel said it has included Thunderbolt 3 in its 10th-gen CPUs.
10th-gen chips will have Thunderbolt 3 and Wi-Fi 6 Add to that a new Dynamic Tuning 2.0 feature that more efficiently manages the Turbo Boost capability, and the 10th-gen chips are easily going to outpace previous chips despite running at slightly lower clock speeds.
The Sunny Cove cores in the 10th-gen chips are “faster, wider” (according to Intel) and basically increase the IPC (instructions per clock) by roughly 18 percent over the cores used in the previous 8th-gen chips.
10th gen is going to be faster for applications
