日本Intel Core i7-1065G7 vs AMD Ryzen 7 4800H – maybe Intel are under heavy fire
The 10th gen Intel Ice Lake CPUs are efficient and fast processors equipped with the latest Intel Iris G7 / G4 / UHD1 graphics. At least for now, the Ice Lake SoCs are very good packages – decent computational performance alongside fast iGPUs and less heat dissipation compared to older Intel pre-10th gen era CPUs. Still, even the top-end CPUs of this generation have 4 core and 8 threads and the Coffee Lake beasts are still faster.
It’s not a typical win-win situation for Ice Lake because if you don’t need the power of the whole package (CPU and iGPU) there are faster CPUs on the market that are cheaper and you can combine them with some affordable graphics, still faster than the new Iris Plus integrated graphics.
The new AMD Ryzen CPUs based on the 7nm Zen 2 architecture are close to their release date. They look like excellent products – at CES 2020, AMD has shown some impressive-looking slides that promise great IPC improvements, higher clock frequencies, much better power efficiency, LPDDR4X support, and new iGPUs that have much faster CUs. Of course, we have to wait for those new devices configured with the 3rd gen AMD Ryzen APUs to be released and to test their real-time performance.
Right now there are some pretty interesting leaked results related to the performance of some still unreleased AMD APUs. That’s why we are going to compare the Core i7-1065G7 and the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H. The Intel CPU is already a well-known product and we will use the leaked results to compare those two CPUs.
Of course, as soon as we get our hands on the new Ryzen CPUs, we’ll update this article with results from our own lab.
Quick Specs
We are not going to talk about the bulk prices because there is no official info from AMD regarding the prices of future Zen 2 CPUs.
The Core i7-1065G7 has 4 cores and 8 threads, 8MB cache size, 1.30 GHz – 3.90 GHz base and boost clocks, 15W TDP and DDR4-3200, LPDDR4-3733 memory supported frequencies.
On the other side, the AMD Ryzen 7 4800H looks like a small mobile Threadripper with its 8 cores and 16 threads – that is a double core count when compared to any mid or high-end Ice Lake CPU. The base and boost clocks of the future AMD CPU are higher than its Intel contender – especially the base clock which is 1.3GHz higher than i7-1065G7’s. The cache size is the same as the Intel’s one – 8MB. AMD has the upper hand when it comes to supported memory frequencies – the new APUs will take advantage thanks to the fast and power-efficient LPDDR4X-4266MHz memory.
The Ryzen 7 4800H will have a new Radeon Graphics with 7 CUs and as we have already mentioned its CUs will be much faster than the ones in the 2nd gen Ryzen processors. As for the TDP levels – they are a bit higher but that is an 8-core CPU with 16 threads and fast iGPU that will not throttle hard because of its TDP. For the ones who demand better efficiency, the Ryzen 7 4700U looks like a good option with 8 core and just 15W TDP.

Specs table:
| Intel Core i7-1065G7 | AMD Ryzen 7 4800H | |
|---|---|---|
| Cores / Threads | 4 / 8 | 8 / 16 |
| Base / Max frequency | 1.30 – 3.90 GHz | 2.90 – 4.20 GHz |
| Cache | 8 MB Intel Smart Cache | 8 MB L3 Cache |
| TDP / up / down | 15W / 25W / 12W | 45W / 54W / 35W |
| Memory support | DDR4-3200, LPDDR4-3733 | DDR4-3200MHz; LPDDR4-4266MHz |
CPU Benchmarks
Wow, let’s hope that those results are true – the Ryzen 7 4800H has 130% better score when it comes to 3D rendering.
Results are from the Cinebench 20 CPU test (the higher the score, the better)
Results are from our Photoshop benchmark test (the lower the score, the better)
Verdict
The new 7nm Zen 2 AMD CPUs seem like great performers. The good news is that AMD gives us all a choice – if you want a fast processor with more stable frequencies under heavy load – the Ryzen 7 4800H will be a good choice for power users and gamers. For thin and light machines alongside fast performance and good efficiency – the Ryzen 7 4700U seems like a decent choice with its 15W TDP and 8 cores. If you don’t need so many cores and you have a tighter budget, then the Ryzen 5 4600H (6 cores and 12 threads, 45W TDP) and Ryzen 5 4600U (6 cores and 12 threads, 15W TDP) will be a good choice for almost everyone – casual users, gamers, content creators, office users, etc.
The i7-1065G7 looks weaker than ever when compared to the Ryzen 7 4800H – the latter is showing some (unconfirmed) impressive and much higher results than its Intel competitor. The next couple of months are going to be very interesting with the upcoming new tech from Intel and AMD. We are so impatient to get our hands on the new devices but unfortunately, we all have to wait a bit more.
Of course, as soon as we get our hands on the new Ryzen CPUs, we’ll update this article with results from our own lab.
15W vs 45W ???
Hello,
The main reason for this comparison is the close end price between those CPUs. Of course, they have different purposes – the AMD one is for power users that don’t mind a bit more power-hungry CPU in favor of performance. The i7-1065G7 combines power and low TDP (that’s why it’s more suitable for thin laptops). Soon, we will release an article about Ryzen 7 4700U vs i7-1065G7 – both have a 15W TDP. 🙂
Is the 5000 firestrike mark legit? Is it your own testing or someone elses? If it really scores that hight then it would be very good, too good.
Hello,
This article is based on leaked results from a reddit user which is a pretty reliable source at the moment – at least for now, all early results that he provides are close to the actual performance of the particular hardware after its release. We will update the results with our own ones after the official release of the new Zen 2-based devices.
Intel with low tdp but the performance is ryzen. In my mind, this processor is not some segmenting
