Lenovo ThinkPad X12 laptop review: Detachable with Intel Core i3 is quite slow
Intel Core i3-1110G4 | Intel UHD Graphics 620 | 12.30" | 1.1 kg
The Intel Core i3-1110G4 is a power-efficient dual-core SoC for laptops and Ultrabooks based on the Tiger Lake-U generation (UP4) that was launched in September 2020. It integrates two Willow Cove processor cores (4 threads thanks to HyperThreading). Each core can clock from 1.5 GHz (base speed at 7 Watt TDP setting) to 3.9 GHz (single- and dual-core boost). With 15 Watt TDP (cTDP-up) the base speed is 2.5 GHz.
Another novelty is the integrated Xe graphics card based on the completely new Gen 12 architecture. The i3 integrates the low end UHD Graphics G4 with 48 of the 96 EUs enabled and a clock speed of 400 - 1100 MHz. The GPU and CPU can together use the 6 MB of L3 cache.
Furthermore, Tiger Lake SoCs add PCIe 4 support (four lanes), AI hardware acceleration, and the partial integration of Thunderbolt 4 / USB 4 and Wi-Fi 6 in the chip.
Performance
The average 1110G4 in our database is in the same league as the Celeron N5105, as far as multi-thread benchmark scores are concerned. This is the kind of performance that entry-level chips deliver, as of late 2023.
Your mileage may vary depending on how competent the cooling solution of your system is and how high the CPU power limits are.
Power consumption
Intel Core i3-1110G4 has a default TDP (also known as the long-term Power Limit) of 7 W to 15 W, the expectation being that laptop manufacturers will go for a higher value in exchange for higher performance. This Core i3 is built with the 3rd generation 10 nm process marketed as SuperFin making for decent, as of mid-2022, energy efficiency.
