Intel Rumored To Launch Three 8-Core 11th Generation Tiger Lake-H CPUs
Intel announced their 11th Generation Tiger Lake-H processors for high-end gaming laptops at CES 2021. The three models announced are now shipping in slim gaming machines and target the AMD Ryzen 5000H series processors. The Intel models compete favorably in single-core performance but only feature four cores and eight threads while the Ryzen 5000H series processors include up to 8 cores and 16 threads giving them the clear advantage in multi-core performance.
Intel is planning to close this performance gap with the launch of three new 45 W 8 core 11th Generation H-series processors in Q2 2021 with a possible announcement at Computex. The three models include the unlocked Core i9-11980HK, Core i9-11900H, and the Core i7-11800H along with the Core i5-11400H with six cores. These new processors will compete directly with the Ryzen 9 5980HX, Ryzen 9 5900H, and Ryzen 7 5800H with the Core i9-11980HK likely to feature a boost clock of 5 GHz on multiple cores.

I wonder how much better these are from 10980HK. The 5900HX and 5800H are pretty solid performers so it may be hard for Intel to get to the top.
If I remember correctly, M was 30-35W class which has fallen out of favor today.
H somehow came to be from HP (High Power/Performance) designation of a mobile CPU subclass.
Although not exactly that today, the roots of U are in ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) which came to be in 2003 or so among Pentium M mobile CPUs. Intel also developed the platform around ULV concept in late 2000s.
This has been pretty ingrained designation and with AMD having followed suit, it is even more so today.Pretty sure Intel was using H designation before AMD.
While you are right about none of the 10-series getting H designation in 2019, it has to do with staggered product launch, only U-series was released first and everything else followed after a little while.
Now that I looked too much into Intel's mobile CPU list, H seems to have started around Haswell, mostly in HQ form in the beginning.

I would be more impressed if Tigerlake 8-core has 15W variants.
I never see a mainstream audiance checking the CPU model, all their check is the CPU Branding, the only audiance reading Model number of a CPU on a Laptop during purchase is Enthusiasts
Remember Pentium 4s and prior?
Oh wait, no, this is obviously about their turbo clocks :roll:Laughing Stock ;)
