About the Intel Core i7-1195G7 CPU

The Intel Core i7-1195G7 is a 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q2 2021 with a suggested retail price of $426. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Willow Cove-U microarchitecture. The i7-1195G7 is compatible with Intel BGA 1449 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 10 nm manufacturing process. It features the Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EU integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-1195G7 supports DDR4-3200 memory and features a dual-channel memory controller, allowing it to utilize 2 memory modules simultaneously. In terms of cache, the Core i7-1195G7 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 1.25 MB, is larger but slower than the L1. Its L3 cache, a shared resource among the CPU's cores, has a capacity of 12 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i7-1195G7 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 2.9 GHz, and it can boost up to 5.0 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 i7-1195G7 includes an integrated graphics solution called Iris Xe Graphics G7 96EU. 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 i7-1195G7 has the 239th best 3DMark 11 Performance Physics score among the 721 benchmarked CPUs in our database. It achieves 28.22% of the performance of the best benchmarked CPU, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D. Its 10,438.5 score and $426 launch price (MSRP) gives it a performance per dollar of 24.5. This is the 147th best in value for the 3DMark 11 Perf. Physics benchmark.

About the Intel Core i7-8706G CPU

The Intel Core i7-8706G is a 4-core (8-thread) processor built for the mobile CPU market. It launched in Q1 2018. It is part of Intel's Core i7 lineup, which is based on the Kaby Lake-G microarchitecture. The i7-8706G is compatible with Intel BGA 2270 motherboards and is fabricated on Intel's 14 nm manufacturing process. It features the Radeon RX Vega M GL integrated graphics solution.

Memory and Cache

The Core i7-8706G supports DDR4 memory. In terms of cache, the Core i7-8706G has multiple levels of cache. Its L1 cache, which is the smallest and fastest, is 64 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 8 MB.

Cores and Clock Speeds

The Core i7-8706G 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 3.1 GHz, and it can boost up to 4.1 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.
