Intel Tigerlake

So I found something interesting on notebookcheck the other day.

"The Intel Core i7-1185G7 is a power-efficient quad-core SoC for laptops and Ultrabooks based on the [Tiger Lake-U generation] (UP4) that was introduced September 2020. It integrates four Willow Cove processor cores (8 threads thanks to Hyper-Threading). Each core can clock rom 3 GHz (base speed) to 4.8 GHz (single-core boost). All cores at once can clock at up to 4.3 GHz. At the time of announcement, the i7-1185G7 is the fastest model of the line-up…

The operating range of the UP3 series is specified at 12 to 28 Watt. Therefore, the processor is also suited for thin and light laptops."

The velocity boost? hits 41 watts for short bursts. What caught my eye though, was the single core performance of this 28watt laptop chip. For reference, the i9 10900k gets a single core score of 530 in Cinebench R20.

Below is the single core score for the 28 watt i7 1185G7.

Cinebench R20 - CPU (Single Core) min: 553 avg: 575 median: 580 (98%) max: 593 Points

Im personally not a big fan of r20 single core scores compared to r15. R20 doesn’t seem to translate to real world performance as well as r15 in my opinion.

It makes Ryzen look real good though.

It’s just the single core though, also I am comparing intel to intel. This beats the i9 10900k single core by 70 points. That is with a 28 watt laptop cpu. Intel is leaving Skylake behind sooner rather than later, so it’s nice to see the new architecture they have been working on.

Willowcove looks pretty impressive.
