Core i7-6700 vs Core i7-1185G7 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i7-6700 beats the Core i7-1185G7 in overall performance. Despite this, the Core i7-1185G7 has the advantage in our gaming benchmark.

Info from our database shows that they both have the same core count and the same number of threads. The Core i7-1185G7 outputs less heat than Core i7-6700 thanks to a 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 i7-6700 has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
