The Blue team is facing a stiff competition from AMD in the mobile processor lineup as well this time and their Tiger Lake-U series is the only one thing that Intel can fight back with. The new 10nm architecture will be succeeding Ice Lake CPUs along with a new CPU core architecture and a new Xe graphics engine.
Being limited to quad-core only, Ice Lake wasn’t that overwhelming but it was an efficient set of CPUs and there’s no doubt we have some high expectations for the Tiger Lake architecture. Already there are some 3DMark Time Spy listing for a processor called the Core i7-1185G7 which could be the new Tiger Lake CPU.
The Intel Core i7-1185G7 reports to have a 3.0 GHz base clock, 700 MHz higher than that of last year’s flagship Core i7-1068G7. But at a TDP of 28 W the boost clock reported is very likely to be incorrect.
Now, the TDP is a confusing issue for us because multiple enthusiasts thinks that the Core i7-1185G7 is a 28 W TDP processor, making it comparable to the Core i7-1068G7. However, if we consider Intel’s naming scheme for the Ice Lake architecture, a CPU with the capability of reaching 28 W must have an 8 in before the GPU suffix. So, if a 28 W Tiger Lake-U chip exists, it should be called the Core i7-1188G7, not the i7-1185G7.
On the other hand, the tipster @TUM_APISAK reports the Core i7-1185G7 to have a CPU score of 2,922 and a graphics score of 1,296, whereas the Ryzen 7 4800U has scored 1,227 points in the same graphics test, giving the Core i7-1185G7 a 5-6% lead. But the CPU score is very underwhelming against the new AMD APUs.
This leak raises a lot of questions regarding the new Tiger Lake-U CPUs about their TDP, clock speeds, whether still there will be 4 cores? While the 3 GHz base clock seems good enough but the graphics is underwhelming so the Core i7-1185G7 is still mysterious as of now but in the coming days more details will be leaked of this new Tiger Lake-U series.
