Intel Core i5-1135g7: technical characteristics and tests

The interfaces and connections supported by the graphics card integrated in Core i5-1135g7.

This delicate moment when a Core i5-1135g7 can surpass the core i7-1165g7, more expensive

If you plan to buy a new 11th generation Intel Tiger Lake laptop, you should keep in mind that the Core i5-1135g7, cheaper, can actually equal or surpass the raw performance of the CPU of a handle D ‘Core i7-1165g7 laptops.

It is not because a processor is more expensive and has higher figures that it will work faster than a cheaper version. As we have already proven many times, Core i5 laptops can sometimes work faster than Core i7, even within the same generation.

Our latest example concerns the brand new generation of Intel processors of 11th generation Tiger Lake Core i5-1135g7 and Core i7-1165g7. Although the latter is announced as faster and more expensive than the first, we have found at least one Core i5-1135g7 laptop which can constantly surpass its Core i7-1165g7 configuration, more expensive. Our Dell Inspiron 7506 2-in-1 Silver Edition surpasses the Dell Inspiron 7506 2-in-1 Black Edition by a weak but constant margin in almost all Multi-Threads benchmarks.

If we examine each Dell system in more detail, the Core i5 Inspiron is capable of maintaining slightly faster clock frequencies at around 3 GHz compared to ~ 2.8 GHz on the core i7 Inspiron. It should be noted that the latter understands a much faster discreet GPU, but it is not an excuse to have a little efficient CPU.

Does this mean that users should always opt for the Core i5-1135g7, cheaper, whenever this is possible ? Not necessarily. The biggest difference between the Core i5-1135g7 and the Core i7-1165g7 lies in graphic performance and not in the raw performance of the CPU. The Core i5 incorporates an IRIS XE GPU with 80 EU (Execution Units) against 96 EU on the Core i7. 3DMARK benchmarks show that the performance of the core i5 iris xe is 10 to 15 % lower than those of the core i7 iris xe and this deficit can reach 30 to 40 % if the core i5 system is on a single memory.

If you are an occasional player or a graphic editor, then the Core i7-1165g7 option can be worth investment for its faster integrated graphics. Otherwise, users can be content to use the cheaper i5-1135g7 sku without sacrificing the power of the processor, if there is one.
