Intel has issued a Product Change Notice (PCN) This will end various 11th Gen Tiger Lake mobile processors. Discontinued products include Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, Core i9 and several SKUs from the Xeon W lineup. Tiger Lake launched sometime between 2020 and 2021, so it won’t be long. However, now that Intel has added 12th Gen Alder Lake and 13th Gen Raptor Lake to its lineup, the 10nm processors are obsolete.
The chipmaker isn’t discontinuing the entire Tiger Lake-H lineup. So far, the affected products are mostly Tiger Lake-H (45W) chips. This is because demand has shifted to Intel’s newer processor offerings. The discontinued SKU range is from Core i5-11260H to Core i9-11950H. Intel has included his Xeon W-11855M on the list. The Xeon W-11855M hexa-core processor is his one of only two Xeon Tiger Lake parts. A Xeon W-11955M processor with 8 cores is safe so far. It looks like there is still demand for Tiger Lake chips with IPUs (image processing units). Intel has not discontinued models such as the Core i7-11390H and Core i5-11320H.
Intel’s partners can place last-minute orders for 11th Generation Tiger Lake processors by June 30, 2023. However, the shipping date after that depends on the model.For example, Intel released the Core i5-11500H, Core i7-11850H, Core i9-11950H, and Xeon W-11855M April 26, 2024 (opens in new tab)Meanwhile, the final ship date for the remaining Tiger Lake SKUs is January 26, 2024 (opens in new tab).

The 11th Gen Tiger Lake B-series processors, which feature a 65W TDP, have also reached end-of-life (EOL) status. Intel has introduced some of his 45W Tiger Lake chips to desktops via the BGA route. Processors such as the Core i9-11900KB, Core i7-11700B, Core i5-11500B, and Core i3-11100B were available to vendors specializing in small form factor (SFF) systems. As with the Tiger Lake-H chips, the client has until his June 30th, 2023 to place his final order, and Intel will ship his order by his January 26th, 2024.
A few months ago, Intel put a bid on its 11th Gen Rocket Lake desktop processors. Naturally, the writing was already on the wall that Tiger Lake wasn’t safe from the next cut. There aren’t many Tiger Lake chips left, so the 10nm family of mobile chips will eventually cease to exist. It’s not a problem for
