After a whole lot of teasing, Intel announced its 11th-generation mobile processors today. Codenamed Tiger Lake, that means that its time for OEMs to show off their new wares with the new CPUs. For Acer, that includes the Swift 5 (SF514-55), the Swift 3 (SF313-53), and the Swift 3 (SF314-59).
 
The new Swift 5 is one of the first to be verified for Intel's new Evo standard, which is the latest from Project Athena, a set of standards that Intel provides to OEMs to assure a modern ultrabook experience. These include things like instant wake, Iris Xe Graphics, all-day battery life with fast charging, and more. The two Swift 3 models are pending verification.
