Leave a reply

The XPS 13 (9300), which showcased at CES 2020, has been refreshed as the XPS 13 (9310) with the new Intel Tiger Lake processor!

Find out what’s new in the Dell XPS 13 (9310) ultra-light laptop with Intel Tiger Lake!

 

2020 Dell XPS 13 (9310) With Intel Tiger Lake

Earlier this year, Dell introduced their premier ultra-light laptop – the 2020 Dell XPS 13 (9300), featuring the first-ever, virtually-borderless InfinityEdge display!

It has now been refreshed as the XPS 13 (9310) with the latest Intel Tiger Lake processor!

Like the XPS 13 (9300), the Dell XPS 13 (9310) boasts an ultra-light chassis with machined aluminium, carbon fibre or woven glass fibre and Corning Gorilla Glass protection, as well as ultra-thin bezels.

The new 9310 refresh model, though, comes with the latest 11th Gen Intel Core processors with Intel Xe graphics, and options for more memory and storage.

The new 2020 Dell XPS 13 (9310) with Intel Tiger Lake boasts a 13.4-inch display in an 11-inch form factor – fitting neatly on an airplane tray. Yet, it comes with a 17% larger touchpad, and edge-to-edge keyboard with larger key caps.

It also features Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, and up to 32 GB of faster LPDDR4x memory running at 4267 MHz, instead of 3733 MHz.

Its InfinityEdge display supports 100% sRGB and 90% DCI-P3 colour gamut, with optional 4K UHD resolution. In addition, it is now 25% brighter at 500 nits.

It can now be configured with up to 2 TB of PCIe NVMe SSD storage. And it supports up to Wi-Fi6 with its Killer AX1650 Wi-Fi module.

Both the 9310 and 9300 models are visually indistinguishable, with the same form factor, build, dimensions and even weight. They only differ in certain internal components.

11th Gen Intel Core (Tiger Lake) : Performance

Intel is targeting their top-of-the-line Tiger Lake processor – the Core i7-1185G7 – against the AMD Ryzen 7 4800U.

We have to point out that this may not be quite a fair comparison since the Ryzen 7 4800U is an 8-core, 16-thread processor with an 8-core Vega GPU and a 15W TDP.

But that’s what Intel is showcasing – a face-off between their Core i7-1185G7 and the AMD Ryzen 7 4800U.

 

Intel Evo : Project Athena Second Edition

Intel is also introducing the Intel Evo platform, as part of the Project Athena Second Edition program.

Based on 11th Gen Core processors with Intel Iris Xe graphics, Intel Evo laptops must meet the Project Athena Second Edition experiences :

  • Consistent responsiveness on battery
  • System wake from sleep in less than 1 second
  • Nine or more hours of real-world battery life on systems with FHD displays
  • Fast charging with up to a four-hour charge in under 30 minutes on systems with FHD displays

To qualify for the Intel Evo platform and branding, laptop designs will have to meet or exceed these minimum specifications :

  • Intel Wi-Fi 6 (Gig+) 802.11ax
  • Thunderbolt 4
  • ≥ 256GB PCIe / NVMe SSD
  • ≥ 8GB Dual Channel Memory
  • Bluetooth 5 with Audio Offload
  • > 2 digital microphones of at least 63dB Signal to Noise ratio and +/- 1dB matching
  • High fidelity audio codec / speaker tuning and Intel Smart Sound Technology
  • Speaker Sound Pressure Level >78dB @ 50 cm and bass frequency <353 Hz
  • User-facing camera ≥ HD/720p @ 30fps
  • Voice Assistant with WoV – Cortana Premium Far Field requirements (≥4 m effective)
