Intel Core i7-1165G7 vs Apple M1

The Intel Core i7-1165G7 is a modern mobile processor from Intel with 4 CPU cores and 8 threads. It is based on Intel's "Tiger Lake U" architecture that can show a significant IPC gain compared to the previous year's architecture "Comet Lake U".

Accordingly, the processor quickly expects it to be efficiently efficient due to its 10 nm manufacturing. The clock frequency of the Intel Core I7-1165G7 is 2.8 GHz. About the so-called turbo mode, the mobile processor can dynamically adjust its clock frequency and thus clock a CPU core with up to 4.7 GHz.

At full utilization, a maximum of 4.1 GHz is still possible. The height of the clock frequency as well as the duration that the processor can operate in turbo mode, according to the type of utilization and the dimension of the cooling solution of the notebook. Apple's M1 is an arm processor with 8 CPU cores.

These are arranged for a big.Little design. 4 small and very efficient CPU cores with the label "ICESTORM" take care of all background tasks or regularly incurred operations. In addition, the processor has 4 more and significantly larger CPU cores named "Firestorm". These cores are significantly responsible for the high performance of the M1 processor.

Both processors operate at a maximum of 15 watts and have an integrated graphics unit (IGPU). The Intel Core i7-1165G7 can use the Intel Iris XE Graphics 96 (Tiger Lake G7) on Intel's new XE graphic, which is much more powerful than the predecessor version "Intel UHD". The Intel Iris Xe Graphics 96 (Tiger Lake G7) has 96 execution units, which also represents the largest expansion stage of this IGPU.

The computing power is 1.93 Tflops / s, the Apple M1 (8 Core) graphics comes to even higher 2.6 tflops.

Both graphics units can already decode the new VideoCodec "AV1" in hardware.
