A comparison between two generations of Core i5 CPUs would be a good idea. The time has come and we can compare the Core i5-1035G1 and i5-8265U. Ice Lake vs Whiskey Lake.

Both CPUs look almost the same on paper but let’s see what the new 10nm tech can offer over the 14nm architecture.

Quick Specs

The bulk prices are equal – $297.00. This is an easy job – the faster one is the better choice because of its price.

The two rivals have 4 cores and 8 threads and the same cache size – 6MB.

The Core i5-1035G1 is equipped with the newer Intel UHD G1 and the i7-8565U has the “good old” UHD 620. The i5-1035G1 has a bit lower base frequency (1.00 GHz to 1.60 GHz) and lower boost one too (3.60 GHz to 3.90 GHz) than i5-8265U. The memory supported frequencies are on the side of the newer CPU – DDR4-3200, LPDDR4-3733 and DDR4-2400, LPDDR3-2133 for i5-8265U.

The Core i5-1035G1 iGPU is Intel UHD G1 and i5-8265U has Intel UHD 620.

Specs table:

	Intel Core i5-1035G1	Intel Core i5-8265U
Cores / Threads	4 / 8	4 / 8
Base / Max frequency	1.00 – 3.60 GHz	1.60 – 3.90 GHz
Cache	6 MB Intel Smart Cache	6 MB Intel Smart Cache
TDP / up / down	15W / 25W / 13W	15W / 25W / 10W
Memory support	DDR4-3200, LPDDR4-3733	DDR4-2400, LPDDR3-2133

GPU Benchmarks

Bad news for the i5-8265U/UHD 620 combo here – Core i5-1035G1 and UHD G1 combination is 25% faster.

Verdict

A very clear result – Core i5-1035G1 is the better choice because of it faster iGPU and the Ice Lake CPU cost the same as i5-8265U. Both CPUs are fast but if you want to play some light games like CS:GO or DOTA 2 the gameplay with the UHD 620 will be not that smooth while UHD G1 will offer better frame times.

December is a month full of deals and if you find a good deal of a laptop with the i5-8265U (and you don’t care about the graphics performance) it will be a decent choice for your daily needs. If the prices are close, the Core i5-1035G1 is the right choice.
