An entry of the Intel Core i7-1165G7 processor in the Geekbench database reveals this Tiger Lake chip packs quite a punch. TechPowerUp goes as far as to say that the 1165G7 mauls AMD's Ryzen 7 4700U "Renoir" APU in most tests. The 1165G7 is a quad-core, eight-threaded 10nm part so it's pretty interesting to see it beating AMD's eight-core, eight-threaded 4700U in both single-threaded and multi-threaded performance:
A Geekbench comparison between two Lenovo laptops, one powered by an i7-1165G7, and the other by a 4700U, shows a staggering 36.8% performance lead for the Intel chip in single-threaded performance, while also being 0.5% faster in multi-threaded performance. The i7-1165G7 features a 4-core/8-thread CPU with "Willow Cove" cores, while the 4700U lacks SMT, and is an 8-core/8-thread chip with "Zen 2" CPU cores. The game changes with the Ryzen 7 4800U, where the 8-core/16-thread chip ends up 22.3% faster than the Core i7-1165G7 in the multi-threaded test owing to SMT, while Intel's single-threaded performance lead is lowered to 29.3%.
We're looking forward to in-depth reviews of Tiger Lake!
