Core i7-1065G7 vs Core i3-1215U benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-1215U beats the Core i7-1065G7 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1065G7 in all gaming tests too.

In terms of the number of cores of each of these CPUs, the Core i3-1215U has significantly more cores than the Core i7-1065G7. Indeed, the Core i3-1215U has 6 cores compared to 4 cores found in the Core i7-1065G7. But they both have the same number of threads. These CPUs have different clock speeds. Indeed, the Core i7-1065G7 has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i3-1215U. Despite this, the Core i3-1215U has a slightly higher turbo speed. Both these chips have an identical TDP (Thermal Design Power). This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption. The info from our database shows that the Core i3-1215U has more L2 cache than the Core i7-1065G7. The Core i3-1215U also has slightly more L3 cache.

Most CPUs have more threads than cores. This technology, colloquially called hyperthreading, improves performance by splitting a core into multiple virtual ones. This provides more efficient utilisation of a core. Indeed, the Core i7-1065G7 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
