![]() The Iris Plus Graphics seems to be quite capable. Intel has always struggled to keep up with graphics performance. The NVIDIA GeForce MX250 isn’t old, and you’ll find it in several current notebooks released this year. Notice that the ASUS ZenBook Duo, with a dedicated MX250 GPU (albeit a low-end one), loses out to the i7-1065G7? At the very least, the benchmarks seem to show that the Iris Plus Graphics with 64 execution units has better performance than the MX250 GPU. Here’s another comparison in Geekbench 5. But wait, look at the gaming score! The difference there is quite remarkable. I know, it doesn’t look at first glance like the i7-1065G7 is particularly good. In these synthetic tests, the Ice Lake processor perform better than its Comet Lake brethren. Here are some PCMark 10 Extended scores for comparison. Both the i7-1065G7 and i7-10510U are 4-core/8-thread 15 W TDP processors. I also have an ASUS ZenBook Duo UX481 with the 10th generation Comet Lake i7-10510U processor. I presently have two Ice Lake notebook, both with the i7-1065G7: Microsoft Surface Pro 7 and Dell 2-in-1. There is no indication from the processor number to tell you the TDP wattage. G7: Iris Plus Graphics with 64 execution units.G4: Iris Plus Graphics with 48 execution units.G1: The usual “integrated UHD graphics” with 32 execution units.These are the graphics levels presently available: That part is now used to denote the level of “graphics capabilities”. Furthermore, there is whole new meaning to the “G7” suffix. The “10” there is still for the 10th generation processors, but the processor SKU number, “65” in this case, is just two digits now. Ice Lake processors, like the i7-1065G7, however, have quite a different naming scheme. ![]() A “Y” suffix denotes a more low-powered 7 W processor. The “U” suffix denotes 15 W processors designed for mobile use. The “10” is the generation number, while the “710” is the processor SKU number. Comet Lake processors, like the i7-10710U, use the regular naming convention we’ve become quite familiar with. I had a couple of notebooks come by recently and saw the opportunity to compare directly between the two lines of 10th generation processors, i.e., Ice Lake and Comet Lake.īefore I start on that, let me digress a little to talk about how Intel has messed up their processor naming convention. Things are looking up with 10th generation Ice Lake processors. Going from 14 nm to 10 nm turned out to be quite a challenge. There was a short-lived attempt at 10 nm in 2018 that only produced a lack-lustre entry-level processor. The Ice Lake based processors, especially the top-end i7-1065G7, are proving to deliver significant benefits.įor some years now, Intel’s usual tick-tock cycle of alternating between process technology shrinking and microarchitecture update has been messed up. ![]() Intel’s 10th generation processors currently feature two processor line-up: 14 nm Comet Lake, and 10 nm Ice Lake processors. ![]()
