Their current 6 core mobile 45W i9 cant maintain its boosts for any real usable length of time, and you think that, somehow, intel is going to get HIGHER boosts out of a chip with two more cores on the same tDP still on 14nm?
Mate you're delusional. Those single core boosts are worthless, windows 10 has so much going on in the background that even if you did have software that was single threaded it wouldnt use that max turbo for more then a fraction of a second or two. No real world performance difference with production software, just some bigger numbers for artificial benchmarks that nobody cares about.
What intel is doing on recent generation mobile chip, is very much like AMD's rx470 rx480 rx570 rx580 rx590 etc. They are basically the same thing, with little improvement on frequencies but pay a heavy price on thermal and power consumption. This indicates a total lose for intel, it really doesn't have anything refreshing to offer for customers, they even losing their dominated mobile chip markets.
It should be, as a 2 generation old technology that had to be reduced in price to appeal to it's target audience. To be fair though, I hear it did better in crypto-mining...at least until that bubble burst.
Intel 10nm currently doesn't clock high enough to be competitive in higher performance markets. It's barely competitive with Comet Lake in low-voltage U-series chips after all. Even with the 18% ICL IPC increase any ICL H-series would lag behind significantly due to much worse clock/voltage scaling.
Umm yes Tiger looks a summer launch, more like Ice Lake last year and Tiger will be 8 cores (and 4 cores obviously). For now Coffee Lake is well enough, AMD have not enough silicon on 4000 mobile serie.

"So literally the exact same CPUs as the last generation but only upped the max Turbo boost which could never be achieved with any normal laptop."\Yup, pretty much 5 years straight of that. Got rut?

That‘s actually a pretty good analogy, except for Polaris having decent prices.Namisecond - Saturday, April 4, 2020 - link

Any world on Ice Lake or Tiger Lake versions of these?Ryan Smith - Thursday, April 2, 2020 - link
No word on Ice Lake. Tiger Lake has not launched and remains a holiday 2020 product.Valantar - Thursday, April 2, 2020 - link
