The Intel Core i7-1185G7 chip is believed to be the senior model in a series of new Tiger Lake processors using the new Willow Cove computing core microarchitecture. It has at its disposal four physical cores, eight virtual threads have 5 MB of L2 cache, as well as 12 MB of L3 cache. The processor also features an entry-level DG1 graphics engine based on the new X ^e- LP architecture. It features 96 Execution Units (EU) offering a total of 768 graphics cores.

Computational performance test results of the Intel Core i7-1185G7 processor were found in Geekbench 5 database by notorious user TUM_APISAK… According to the information recorded in the database, the nominal processor frequency is 3.0 GHz. In auto overclocking mode, it can go up to 4.8 GHz. Thus, the base and maximum frequency of the flagship chip is approximately 2 and 7% higher than the values ​​shown by the pre-flagship Intel Core i7-1165G7 model. Compared to the Core i7-1065G7, built on the Ice Lake design using the previous 10nm process technology, the base frequency of the Core i7-1165G7 is 2.3 times higher, and the maximum frequency has increased by 23%. The new chip has a nominal TDP of 15 W. The maximum power level PL1 (power level 1) reaches 28 W.

The published data also contains information on the frequency of the Intel X ^e DG1 GPU. At the moment it is 1.55 GHz, which is 20% higher than observed in the results of previous tests, where this figure was equal to 1.3 GHz. Thus, the performance level of the DG1 integrated graphics currently reaches 2.4 teraflops, which, by the way, is higher than the GPU performance of the usual versions of the PlayStation 4 consoles (1.84 teraflops) and Xbox One (1.31 teraflops).

A Twitter user with the nickname Harukaze5719 compiled a graph comparing the graphics performance of Tiger Lake in the Geekbench 5 OpenCL benchmark with other graphics solutions. It shows that the GPU performance of the Core i7-1185G7 processor is approximately on par with the results of the AMD Radeon Pro 5300M mobile graphics card. The graphics of the “blue” shows gaining 22,064 points in the test, the solution of the “red” shows the result of 23,498 points. At the same time, the Intel processor slightly bypasses the performance of the discrete NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti graphics card.

The result of measuring the performance of the Intel Core i5-1135G7 model in the Acer laptop has also been published on the Web. This entry-level chip also has four physical cores and eight virtual threads. The amount of cache memory of the 2nd level is similar to the flagship one (1.25 MB per core, which gives a total of 5 MB), but the younger model has a smaller amount of cache memory of the 3rd level – only 8 MB.

The base frequency of the Core i5-1135G7 is 2.40 GHz. In auto overclocking mode, it can go up to 4.20 GHz. The chip scored 1349 points in single-core tests, and 4527 points in multi-core tests. In comparison, the AMD Ryzen 5 4600U with six cores and 12 virtual threads scores 1100 points in a single-core test and about 5800 points in a multi-core test. So, despite fewer cores and threads, Intel’s Tiger Lake Core i5 is about 22% faster in single-threaded and only 28% slower in multi-threaded tasks.

Intel is going to officially present Tiger Lake generation processors on September 2, that is, next week.
