Today we have a comparison between two CPUs from two different price points. One is the newest addition to the Tiger Lake family, the Intel Core i5-1135G7, which promises improvements both in the CPU and GPU front.

Well today we are here to test that versus one very well estabilished processor that already provides great performance and we are sure that it will push this new Core i5 to its limits. The processor that we are talking about is of course the Core i7-1065G7.

Here is our Top Laptop CPU Ranking, where you can check how both chips stack up against the competition.

Conclusion

To summarize this comparison, the newer Core i5-1135G7 was better in our CPU tests, scoring 1.4% higher in 3D rendering, and was 0.4 seconds faster in Photoshop. As for the graphics comparison, here the Iris Xe Graphics G7 won in two out of the three benchmarks. If you need a winner, there isn’t one, since both chips are only one year apart and their performance is quite similar, but the Core i5 really impressed us with its performance today.
