Intel Core i7-1065G7 vs i7-9850H – the Coffee Lake CPU is more powerful and even cheaper

The Core i7-1065G7 is definitely “the boss” when it comes to a powerful new-gen CPU. It’s rocking 10nm tech and an Intel Iris Plus G7 iGPU. The i7-9850H looks like an old mastodon next to its Ice lake brother. The 14nm Coffee Lake CPU has a lot of raw CPU power and a not-so-new UHD 630.

It will be a fast new-gen CPU vs old-school CPU with brutal power. Let’s check it out.

Quick Specs

Intel is asking $426 for the i7-1065G7 and $395 for i7-9850H – hm, a 12-thread CPU is 8% cheaper than the i7-1065G7.

The Core i7-1065G7 has fewer cores and threads when compared to i7-9850H (4/8 vs 6/12). It also has lower base and boost frequencies than the Coffeе Lake contender (1.30 GHz – 3.90 GHz to 2.60 GHz – 4.60 GHz). The Ice Lake CPU has 4MB smaller cache size too. It looks like the battle with the i7-9850H will be a tough one. The i7-1065G7 has an advantage with its supported memory frequencies – DDR4-3200, LPDDR4-3733 and we have DDR4-2666, LPDDR3-2133 for i7-9850H.

CPU Benchmarks

More than expected, the i7-9850H is 29% faster when it comes to raw CPU power.


GPU Benchmarks

The i7-1065G7 definitely has something up in its sleeve and that is the Intel Iris Plus G7. This iGPU is 44% faster than UHD 630.

Verdict

Let’s make a quick summarize – the i7-1065G7 is 8% more expensive than i7-9850H, it’s 22% slower in computing workloads but the iGPU inside of it is 44% faster than the one in i7-9850H. It’s not an easy choice.

You will find the i7-1065G7 in much thinner and lighter machines compared to the ones configured with the i7-9850H. The Ice Lake CPU dissipates much less heat and that’s why it can be fitted in laptops with thin profiles. The performance of the i7-1065G7 isn’t bad but the i7-9850H is much faster and even cheaper. If you don’t care about graphics performance the Coffeе Lake CPU will be a good choice, especially if you need it for photo and video editing. Keep in mind that around 95% of the laptops with i7-9850H are with dedicated GPU.

If you need a good balance between CPU and iGPU power the i7-1065G7 will serve you well – it’s not that power-hungry like the i7-9850H, the CPU performance is more than enough for every-day stuff like Web browsing, YouТube videos or editing office documents, and the Intel Iris G7 is a superb iGPU which is much faster than the UHD 630. Of course, a laptop with this CPU will be (probably) a thin and light machine that is comfortable for outside usage.
