Intel Core i7-11375H in Asus TUF Dash F15 shows no fear of Ryzen 5000 H-series as 5.0 GHz boost helps it to single-core mastery +24% higher than the i7-10750H

The Intel Core i7-11375H is something of a surprise addition to the Tiger Lake lineup, and the 4-core, 8-thread part is going to give fans of mobile gaming some serious food for thought when it comes to choosing a 2021 gaming laptop. While it was widely expected that the Zen 3 mobile APUs from AMD’s Ryzen 5000 H-series were going to smash everything in sight in the laptop arena this year, Intel has thrown a big blue spanner in the works with Tiger Lake-H35.

The single-core performance of this i7-11375H in the Asus TUF Dash F15 laptop is highly commendable: 1,577 points is the final score here. The Tiger Lake chip clocks from 3.30 GHz to 5.00 GHz in the benchmark while being accompanied by 16 GB RAM and supported by Windows 10 OS. With just 4 cores to play with, the multi-core score of 5,159 points is nothing out of the ordinary. But that single-core score will have many gamers wanting to know more.

For instance, the 11th Gen i7-11375H (28-35 W TDP) wipes the floor with the Comet Lake i7-10750H (6C/12T, 2.60 GHz-5.00 GHz, 45 W TDP). Our median score with the i7-10750H is 1,269 points while one sample in a Schenker XMG Core 17 got to 1,333 points. The i7-11375H scores +24.27% and +18.30% more, respectively. Even leaked scores from Ryzen 5000 H-series parts aren’t overwhelming for the Tiger Lake chip at this point so far. We reported on a Ryzen 9 5980HS chalking up to 1,541 points (-2.28%) and a Ryzen 9 5900H racking up 1,520 points (-3.61%).

As always, there are many additional things to consider in this type of Intel vs. AMD comparison: the laptop the chip is being tested in and its cooling solution, the power requirements and how long boost clocks can be sustained, and of course that age-old conundrum – is single-core performance more important than multi-core performance? Unsurprisingly, those two aforementioned Cezanne chips absolutely thrash the i7-11375H in multi-core scores, but they do have double the cores and AMD’s Zen 3 microarchitecture to their advantage. But for those who only care about single-core processing, Team Blue has seemingly delivered with the i7-11375H.
