Intel teases new Tiger Lake-H laptop CPUs with speedy Hitman 3 benchmark

Intel has posted a quick teaser video on Twitter which shows one of its new Tiger Lake laptop CPUs running a game in excess of 200 frames per second (fps).

There are some caveats here, as you might imagine, but take a look at the tweet first, which contains a video of Intel benchmarking a brief scene from Hitman 3 (the ‘On Top of the World’ Dubai mission).

The Core i9 H-series 11th-gen chip – presumably the top-end 8-core model, with the H-series expanding the Tiger Lake laptop line-up from quad-core – is running the game as high as 238 fps, but around the 220 fps mark most of the time, which as you’re no doubt aware is extremely smooth.

Sky high

However, there are some things to bear in mind here, the most obvious being that in these kind of demos, benchmarks (and graphical settings) are cherry-picked to make the hardware appear at its best. And indeed the scene shown in the benchmark is a very brief one, and as one of the commenters on Twitter points out, it contains a lot of sky – meaning there is less to render overall, and frame rates will be speedier thanks to that.

In other words, this is a very short best-case scenario, but even so, to see a Tiger Lake-powered laptop hit these sort of frame rates is pretty exciting (and obviously that’s Intel’s intention).

What also isn’t made clear here is whether this is showing off the muscle of the Core i9 mobile chip to its fullest – meaning running with integrated graphics – or whether the CPU is partnered with a discrete mobile GPU (presumably the latter).

Intel’s new Tiger Lake-H processors are expected to be led by a trio of 8-core models, two of those being Core i9 efforts, the other a Core i7 chip (backed by 6-core Core i5 choices). These CPUs should considerably pep up the options available to notebook makers.

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It?

What Is the “System Volume Information” Folder, and Can I Delete It? On every Windows drive—even external USB drives—you’ll find a “System Volume Information” folder. You’ll only see it if you have Windows set to  show hidden files and folders , but it’s always there. So what is it for? Why Can’t I Open the Folder? On drives formatted with  the NTFS file system , this folder’s permissions are set to prevent everyone from accessing the folder, even users with Administrator permissions. Double-click the folder and you’ll see an error message saying the “location is not available” and “access is denied.” This is normal. That’s because Windows uses this folder for certain system-level features. The permissions are set to prevent users—and programs without the appropriate permissions—from tampering with the files inside and interfering with important system functions. What Is It For? Among other things, Windows stores  System Restore points  in the System Volume

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side , DigiTech Geeks Mobile Computing News

With no good Black Friday iPad deals, it's time to turn to the Android side The Black Friday iPad deals are never any good, but in 2021 they've somehow failed to clear that laughably low bar, and we've still been surprised by just how poor the Apple-tablet discounts are this year. Seriously – we're talking just $50 / £50 off super-power iPad Pros , and sometimes no discounts at all on entry-level or Mini tablets – and this outlook very likely won't change for the Cyber Monday iPad deals . If you were wanting to buy a new iPad in the Black Friday sales, it might seem like you're plum out of luck. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for deals in your region). It's not all bad news though, not as long as you're willing to try new things (and aren't committed to the Apple ecosystem already). That's because there are a few worthy tablet Black Friday deals on Android slates that make them much, much more tempting than an iPad. Sure, sure, sure: i
