[Comparison] Intel Core i7-1250U vs Core i7-1185G7 – Passing of the “Evo” torch

LaptopMedia.com Vergelijkingen [Comparison] Intel Core i7-1250U vs Core i7-1185G7 - Passing of the "Evo" torch

Vanaf: Severin Kolakov 08 November 2022 / 07:30 0

The Intel Evo platform is expanding beyond the 11th Gen Tiger lake CPUs, as we now get the first two additions: the Core i5-1230U and the Core i7-1250U. Intel is playing it safe for the sake of increasing stability by lowering the base TDP of these two chips to 9W.

Obviously, if the cooling potential is there, the chips will tear through that 9W like a piece of paper, however, doing it like this removes a lot of the pressure. Today we have the Core i7-1250U, which we’re placing against an already established Evo platform processor: the Core i7-1185G7.

Today we are comparing the Intel Core i7-1250U against the Core i7-1185G7.

Conclusion

Alder Lake presents a big boost in performance when compared to Tiger Lake. The new CPUs have a raw advantage, sporting higher core counts which means great multi-core performance. The Alder Lake architecture by itself is an improvement, as even in single-core work the 12th gen CPUs are blazing quick. However, while performance matters a lot, stability takes the front row with these Evo chips, and the Tiger Lake processors are still excellent at it.
