Core i7-1165G7 vs Core i7-8705G benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-8705G beats the Core i7-1165G7 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-1165G7 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Our spec comparison shows that they have an identical amount of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-8705G has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i7-1165G7. Despite this, the Core i7-1165G7 has a slightly higher turbo speed. A Core i7-1165G7 CPU outputs less heat than a Core i7-8705G CPU because of its significantly lower TDP. This measures the amount of heat they output and can be used to estimate power consumption.

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 i7-1165G7 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
