The 4.7 GHz listing in the previous result seemed a bit off considering that the Core i7-1065G7 had a maximum clock speed of 3.90 GHz and Intel can’t just push out 4.70 GHz clocks on its immediate successor, the Core i7-1165G7. So not only does 4.4 GHz max boost clocks look more realistic but it seems like for this benchmark at least, the boosts are also working as they should.

Benchmark

The listing was found by tech leaker, Rogame, who not only provided the results for the Intel Core i7-1165G7 Tiger Lake CPU but also compared it with Ryzen 4000 ‘Renoir’ APUs. Once again, Intel’s Core i7-1165G7 is based on the new 10nm+ Willow Cove CPU architecture and also houses a Xe GPU based graphics chip that will compete against AMD’s 7nm Vega GPU. The CPU has retained the base clock of 2.8 GHz but unlike the previously leaked benchmark, we see a clock speed of 4.4 GHz.

Intel Tiger Lake vs AMD Renoir Mobility CPU Comparisons:

When compared with the same Ryzen 7 4800U we used in the previous test, the Core i7-1165G7 is on par with it with a score of 11879 points versus 11917 points. This is quite a CPU performance when considering that these are chips with vastly different core configurations. The Intel Core i7-1165G7 features 4 cores and 8 threads on a 10nm+ process node while the Ryzen 7 4800U comes with 8 cores and 16 threads on a 7nm process node. In terms of graphics performance, the Ryzen 7 4800U despite an update 7nm Vega graphics engine seems to lag behind the new Intel Xe graphics architecture which has a lead of 13% in the same benchmark. What is even more impressive is the same graphics score puts the Intel Xe integrated GPU as faster than an overclocked NVIDIA MX350 discrete GPU:
