Intel piles on the benchmarks to show Tiger Lake is the fastest laptop CPU

"Last year we were kind of at the cusp," said Roger Chandler, vice president of Intel Architecture, graphics and software, and general manager of client XPU products and solutions. "This year we're really seeing the breakthroughs for the developers, so AI can take the edge of the technology, and the user can focus on what they want to do." Intel used Topaz Labs and its Gigapixel Upscaler app to produce the results below. The app uses AI to add detail to photos, upscaling them to higher resolutions. The next three slides focus more heavily on what you might call "pure" AI, which is much more academic.
