The Core i7-1165G7 that we're reviewing is Intel's second-from-top and most widely used Tiger Lake UP3 processor. We also get a much larger GPU design based on Intel Xe architecture, packing 96 execution units, higher frequency memory support, Thunderbolt 4 and PCIe 4.0, and better hardware acceleration for video encoding and decoding. Most notably, cache sizes have increased from 8MB 元 on top-end quad-cores, up to 12MB. There have been minor updates to the CPU core design as well, moving from Sunny Cove up to Willow Cove. On this node, Intel is able to significantly increase both CPU and GPU clock speeds compared to 10nm Ice Lake products at the same power class, which provides the bulk of the performance improvements on offer with the Core i7-1165G7 over the i7-1065G7 (yea, we don't love the names either). 10nm has been problematic for Intel to say the least, but for a low power mobile CPU, 10nm SuperFin seems up to the task for next-generation CPU architectures.

#QUICKSYNC KABY LAKE SERIES#
Key to this new series is Intel's new 10nm SuperFin process. With AMD storming into the laptop market with Ryzen 4000 in 2020, Tiger Lake is Intel's big response that's filled with new features. Tiger Lake and the Core i7-1165G7 represent an overhaul of Intel's mobile offerings, in particular Ice Lake, which wasn't that great. Intel announced Tiger Lake months ago and systems are now readily available with the new chips.

It's time we check out Intel's new Tiger Lake mobile CPUs, starting with the Core i7-1165G7, a part that will be mostly found on mainstream to high-end ultraportables.
