It is a lot faster than the older Iris Plus G7 (Ice Lake) and especially the UHD Graphics 620 (Comet Lake). The Iris Xe Graphics G7 (96 EUs) is based on Intel's Gen 12 architecture. While it is not quite as fast as the higher-wattage competition, the i7 will have no trouble chewing through the video editing and rendering jobs on the go with a bit of gaming possible as well (even if there is no dedicated graphics card). This is a very decent CPU designed for 20 Ultrabooks. In the meantime, the single-thread testing reveals the i7 to be just as fast as the Core i9-10900K, Ryzen 5 5600H, Ryzen 7 5800H, Ryzen 9 5950X, Ryzen 7 5800X, Core i7-11370H. That said, the average Core i7-1165G7 in our database is just as fast as the Core i7-10610U, Core i7-10810U, Core i5-10300H, Core i7-8559U in multi-core benchmarks. Long-term Boost sustainability of a mobile CPU tends to depend heavily on cooling system performance as well as TDP settings of a laptop. The SoC gets soldered straight to the motherboard (BGA1449 socket) and is not user-replaceable.
Both the CPU cores and the iGPU have access to 12 MB of 元 cache.
The i7 CPU is manufactured on the second-gen 10 nm Intel SuperFin process that is supposedly comparable to the 7 nm TSMC process that Ryzen 4000 series mobile processors are manufactured on. Thunderbolt 4, USB 4 and Wi-Fi 6 support is partially baked into the chip. Core i7-1165G7 is compatible with dual-channel DDR4-3200 or quad-channel LPDDR4x-4267 RAM, supports PCI-Express 4.0 (4 lanes) and is capable of HW-accelerating certain AI workloads. The costlier Core i7-1185G7's base clock speed is 200 MHz higher, its Boost clock speed is 100 MHz higher, and its Iris Xe G7 iGPU is slightly faster as well at up to 1,350 MHz.Ī sizeable performance-per-MHz boost is one of the many benefits of Tiger Lake generation compared to the older Ice Lake and Comet Lake product families.
The i7 was the second-fastest model of TGL-UP3 lineup at launch. It features four Hyper-Threading-enabled Willow Cove cores running at 2.8 GHz (base clock speed 28 W TDP) Boosting up to 4.7 GHz (single-core Boost frequency). The Tiger Lake-UP3 processor was unveiled in September 2020. The Intel Core i7-1165G7 is a quad-core SoC designed for leaner laptops.
