Intel Core i7-1185G7 vs Intel Core i3-1315U

Core i7-1185G7 vs Core i3-1315U specs and performance

In our benchmarks, the Core i3-1315U beats the Core i7-1185G7 in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-1185G7 in all gaming tests too.

When comparing core counts for these CPUs, we notice that the Core i3-1315U has significantly more cores with 6 cores compared to the Core i7-1185G7 that has 4 cores. But they both have the same number of threads.

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 i7-1185G7 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
