Intel's Core i7-1165G7 10nm CPU which is part of the Tiger Lake 11th Gen Core family has been benchmarked once again and this time, we see a massive single-threaded performance increase not only over its predecessor but also compared to AMD's fastest Ryzen 4000 Renoir U-series chip.
Intel 10nm vs AMD 7nm - Core i7-1165G7 Tiger Lake Destroy's AMD's Ryzen 7 4800U Renoir In Single-Threaded Workloads
Intel's Tiger Lake CPUs will be featuring the company's next-generation Willow Cove cores which are expected to deliver key performance gains and improvements to the overall cache hierarchy. The CPUs will also be fabricated on an advanced 10nm+ process node which will go up against the TSMC 7nm node which AMD has utilized for its own Ryzen 4000 Renoir family of processors. The main competition for the 10nm Tiger Lake-U family is AMD's Ryzen 4000 U-series which launched back in April 2020.
We have already seen some impressive performance numbers for the Core i7-1165G7 which isn't even the flagship chip within the Tiger Lake-U family. That title goes to the Core i7-1185G7 which we've yet to see in action in the same level of benchmarks as the Core i7-1165G7. With that said, let's take a look at the latest benchmarks which have been posted by TUM_APISAK.
The Intel Core i7-1165G7 features four cores, 8 threads that are clocked at a base frequency of 2.8 GHz, and a boost frequency of 4.7 GHz. The CPU features 12 MB of L3 and 6 MB of L2 cache. The CPU is accompanied by the Intel Xe graphics engine and offers up to 2X the performance increase over Gen 11 graphics chips.
