Intel is splitting its high-end Tiger Lake mobile chip [wikipedia.org] lineup to meet two TDP targets: 35 Watts and 45 Watts. Tiger Lake-H35 chips have been launched [anandtech.com], with 4 cores, 8 threads, and 96 graphics "Xe" (Gen12) execution units. Later in Q1 [anandtech.com], Intel will launch 45 Watt TDP Tiger Lake with up to 8 cores, 16 threads.

Intel has also launched new "Jasper Lake" [cnx-software.com] Celeron/Pentium chips on a "10nm" process node. Jasper Lake uses the Tremont [wikipedia.org] Atom core previously used in Lakefield [soylentnews.org]. TDPs range from 6-10 Watts. 16 GB of memory is explicity supported, up from 8 GB of Gemini Lake Refresh [wikipedia.org] (although boards like the ODROID-H2+ supported 32 GB, go figure). Graphics performance of the Pentium Silver N6005 should be substantially higher than its predecessor due to the use of Gen11 graphics [anandtech.com] and an increase to 32 execution units.
