About the Intel Core i5-1038NG7 CPU

The Intel Core i5-1038NG7 is an end-of-life 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2020 with a suggested retail price of $320. It is part of Intel's Core i5 lineup, which is based on the Sunny Cove-U microarchitecture. The i5-1038NG7 is compatible with Intel BGA 1344 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process. It features the Iris Plus integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i5-1038NG7 supports DDR4 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i5-1038NG7 has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 80 KB in size, providing rapid access to crucial instructions. Its L2 cache, at 256 KB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 6 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i5-1038NG7 features 4 total cores which can process 8 threads simultaneously. The multi-threading capability allows the CPU to execute multiple computational tasks in parallel. The base clock speed of the CPU is 2000.0 MHz, and it can boost up to 3.8 GHz under heavy workloads. Higher clock speeds result in better performance for the same microarchitecture. The multiplier is locked, making it incapable of overclocking for pushing performance further.

Integrated Graphics

The Core i5-1038NG7 includes an integrated graphics solution called Iris Plus. This graphics processor is directly integrated into the CPU and is not as powerful as a dedicated graphics card. While integrated graphics can handle basic tasks like web browsing and office applications, it is not suitable for more demanding activities such as gaming or video editing, where a dedicated graphics card offers superior performance.

Benchmark Performance & Value

The Core i5-1038NG7 has the 263rd best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 720 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 25.42% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 9,402 score and $320 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 29.38. This is the 121st best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the Intel Xeon E3-1505M v5 CPU
