[Preliminary] Intel Core i7-1165G7 vs AMD Ryzen 7 4800U – the blue team shows a disappointing performance
The new Tiger Lake architecture by Intel is the 11th generation of Intel Core mobile processors to hit the market. Tiger Lake is the follow-up to Intel’s Ice Lake and it tries to improve on all the important aspects of a mobile CPU – battery life and power consumption.
In this comparison, we are going to see if the new Intel Core i7-1165G7 is a worthy opponent of the AMD Ryzen 7 4800U. The Ryzen 7 4800U is based on AMD’s Zen 2 microarchitecture and is one of the company’s newest additions to the family that boasts huge performance and efficiency. The AMD Ryzen 7 4800U is based on AMD’s Zen 2 microarchitecture. This will be a classic battle between the blue team and the red team.
This comparison is preliminary and it will be updated when we have more tests available.

Specs
The specifications of both CPUs have a few major differences between them. The Ryzen 7 4800U has 4 more cores and 8 more threads. This in turn means that it will perform better in tasks that require multiple cores. These types of tasks are photo editing, video editing, 3D modeling, and graphics-intensive games. The Core i7-1165G7, however, has 12MB of cache versus the 8MB that the Ryzen has.
| Intel Core i7-1165G7 | AMD Ryzen 7 4800U | |
|---|---|---|
| Cores / Threads | 4 / 8 | 8 / 16 |
| Base / Max frequency | 2.80 – 4.40 GHz | 1.80 – 4.20 GHz |
| Cache | 12 MB Cache | 8 MB Cache |
| TDP / up / down | 15W / 28W / 10W | 15W / 25W / 10W |
| Memory support | DDR4-3200MHz | DDR4-3200MHz, LPDDR4-4266MHz |
Benchmarks
The Intel Core i7-1165G7 gets beaten by the AMD Ryzen 7 4800U with a bit more than 50% in our 3D rendering benchmark.
Los resultados son de la prueba de CPU Cinebench 20 (cuanto más alta sea la puntuación, mejor)
Conclusion
Our current conclusion suggests that even the recently released Intel Core i7-1165G7 is not a match for the Ryzen 7 4800U. Our preliminary benchmark shows that the newly released Intel Core i7-1165G7 gets crushed by the Ryzen 7 4800U with a little bit more than 50%, which is a huge deficit for a brand new processor.

i dont get it. tiger is the evolution of ice. tiny ipc advantage, better frequecies, same core count, same node. we received exactly what to be expected.
zen-2 cores was superior to ice/comet due to energy efficiency which is the main contributor to mobile processors quality.
now intel is closer. but the gap was too big. single core? does not matter. mobile cpus are made of the same silicon as desktop ones. but they have lower boost for a reason. 50w 4.7ghz is a marketing joke. remember 5+ghz on mobile comet lakes? where are these numbers?
Intel win in single-core.
AMD win in multi-core.
