The current top option is found in one of the best laptops on the market, the Dell XPS 13. Unfortunately, Intel didn’t give any specifics regarding the new CPU, but we assume it will feature the same 6-core and 12-thread base as the Core i7-10710U, while offering a slight bump in clock speeds. As an aside, the reason for the Product Change Notification was a move to using an additional manufacturing site in Vietnam for a number of Intel processors. Previously, these were manufactured entirely at sites in China. Again, Intel has yet to officially acknowledge this “announcement,” so we don’t have the full specifications or any new laptops intending to use the updated CPU yet, but we expect news on both fronts soon.
