Intel Core i7-11370H vs Intel Core i7-1195G7 vs Intel Core i7-11375H

Intel Core i7-11370H

The 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 i7-1195G7

The Intel Core i7-1195G7 is a quad-core SoC from the Tiger Lake-UP3 product family designed for thin laptops and Ultrabooks that was introduced in 2021. It integrates four Willow Cove processor cores (8 threads thanks to Hyper-Threading). The base clock (minimum) depends on the configured TDP and can range from 1.3 GHz (12 Watt TDP) up to 2.9 GHz (28 W). The Turbo on one core can reach up to 5 GHz (Turbo Boost 3.0). All cores can reach up to 4.6 GHz. The i7-1195G7 is part of the Tiger Lake UP3 refresh and is the fastest CPU of the Tiger-Lake U line.

Furthermore, Tiger Lake SoCs supports four lanes of PCIe 4, AI hardware acceleration, and the partial integration of Thunderbolt 4/USB 4 and Wi-Fi 6E in the chip.

The 1195G7 integrates the Intel Iris Xe graphics adapter with 96 EUs clocked at 400 - 1400 MHz. The GPU and CPU can together use the 12 MB of L3 cache.

Performance

The average 1195G7 in our database matches the Intel Core i5-10300H in multi-thread performance while, perhaps surprisingly, lagging behind the AMD Ryzen 3 5300U. The makes the i7 a decent lower mid-range chip, as of early 2022. It'll run most apps with virtually no delays or slowdowns which is what the vast majority of users wants.

Thanks to its decent cooling solution and a long-term CPU power limit of slightly more than 30 W, the VAIO SX14 VJS144X0111K is among the fastest laptops built around the 1195G7 that we know of. It can be about 40% faster in CPU-bound workloads than the slowest system featuring the same chip in our database, as of August 2023.

Power consumption

This Core i7 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 tad too high to allow for passively cooled designs.

The i7-1195G7 is built with Intel's 3rd generation 10 nm process marketed as SuperFin for below average, as of early 2023, energy efficiency.

Intel Core i7-11375H

The 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).
