Intel Core i7-11370H vs Intel Core i3-1125G4 vs Intel Core i7-11375H
Intel Core i7-11370H
► remove from comparisonThe Intel Core i7-11370H is a quad-core SoC designed for use in ultra-thin gaming laptops and mobile workstations. It is based on the Tiger Lake H35 generation and was announced early 2021. It integrates four Willow Cove processor cores (8 threads thanks to HyperThreading). The base clock speed depends on the TDP setting and can vary from 3 (28 W TDP) to 3.3 GHz (35 W). The boost of a single and two cores under load can reach up to 4.8 GHz. All four cores can reach up to 4.3 GHz. The 11370H can use the whole 12 MB level 3 cache.
The SoC also includes the improved Iris Xe iGPU with all 96 EUs active clocked at up to 1350 MHz.
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 11370H in our database matches the AMD Ryzen 5 4500U, a noticeably less power-hungry chip, in multi-thread performance. Disregard the Core i7 moniker; this is essentially a mid-range CPU and no match for the likes of the Core i7-11800H or the Ryzen 9 5900HS.
Thanks to its decent cooling solution and a long-term CPU power limit of 25 W, the TUF Dash F15 FX516PR is among the fastest laptops powered by the 11370H that we know of. It can be around 30% faster in CPU-bound workloads than the slowest system featuring the same chip in our database, as of August 2023.
Power consumption
The Core i7 has a default TDP of 28 W to 35 W, the expectation being that laptop makers will go for a higher value in exchange for higher performance. Either way, that's way too high to allow for passively cooled designs.
The i7-11370H is built with Intel's third-gen 10 nm process marketed as SuperFin for average, as of late 2022, energy efficiency.
Intel Core i3-1125G4
► remove from comparisonThe Intel Core i3-1125G4 is a 28 W quad-core SoC for laptops and Ultrabooks of the Tiger Lake family (UP3) that was introduced in September 2020. It integrates four Willow Cove processor cores (8 threads thanks to Hyper-Threading). Each core can clock from 2 GHz (guaranteed base speed @ 28 W) to 3.7 GHz (single-core boost). All cores at once can clock at up to 3.3 GHz. The faster Core i7 models offer more Level 3 cache (12 versus 8 MB in the i5) and higher clocked cores.
Another novelty is the integrated Xe GPU based on the completely new Gen 12 architecture. In the i3-1125G4 Intel names the GPU UHD Graphics and offers only 48 of the 96 EUs clocked at 400 - 1250 MHz. The GPU and CPU can together use the 8 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
While we have not tested a single laptop built around the 1125G4 as of October 2023, we expect the chip's multi-thread performance to be 10% to 20% lower than that of the Core i5-1135G7 (4 cores, 8 threads, somewhat higher clock speeds).
Your mileage may vary depending on how high the CPU power limits are and how competent the cooling solution of your system is.
Power consumption
This Core i3 series chip has a default TDP of 12 W to 28 W, the expectation being that laptop makers will go for a higher value in exchange for higher performance. Either way, that's a little too high to allow for passively cooled designs.
The i3-1125G4 is manufactured on Intel's third-gen 10 nm process marketed as SuperFin for average, as of early 2023, energy efficiency.
Intel Core i7-11375H
► remove from comparisonThe Intel Core i7-11375H is a high end quad core SoC for thin and light gaming laptops and mobile workstations. It is based on the Tiger Lake H35 generation and was announced early 2021. It integrates four Willow Cove processor cores (8 threads thanks to HyperThreading). The base clock speed depends on the TDP setting and can vary from 3 (28 W TDP) to 3.3 GHz (35 W). Compared to the i7-11370H, the only difference is the additional Turbo Boost 3.0 for a single core. With it, the 11375H can clock up to 5 GHz. Two cores can clock up to 4.8 GHz (as the 11370H) and all four cores can reach up to 4.3 GHz. The 11375H can use the whole 12 MB level 3 cache.
The processor performance of the i7 should be very similar to the i7-11370H. Only single threaded short workloads will be slightly faster. The multi-threaded performance should be clearly higher than the old Core i5-10400H (Comet Lake, fastest quad core of the 10th gen) due to the new processor architecture. The similar Core i7-1185G7 offers similar specs as the 11370H but a lower TDP and therefore also lower (sustained) performance.
The SoC also included the improved Xe graphics adapter with all 96 EUs clocked at up to 1350 MHz.
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.
The chip is produced on the improved 10nm process (called 10nm SuperFin) at Intel, which should be comparable to the 7nm process at TSMC (e.g. Ryzen 4000 series).
