Core i7-7820HQ vs Core i5-1135G7 comparison

In our benchmarks, the Core i5-1135G7 beats the Core i7-7820HQ in overall performance. Furthermore, our gaming benchmark shows that it also outperforms the Core i7-7820HQ in all gaming tests too.

When comparing these CPUs we notice that they have the same number of cores and the same number of threads. Our comparison shows that the Core i7-7820HQ has a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Core i5-1135G7. Despite this, the Core i5-1135G7 has a slightly higher turbo speed. The Core i5-1135G7 outputs less heat than Core i7-7820HQ 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 i7-7820HQ has more threads than cores. Each physical core is split into multiple threads.
