We have a Intel i7-1185G7 Tiger Lake Prototype Laptop Sighting

It's been a couple of weeks since Intel debuted their next flagship processor, Tiger Lake. Yet we already are seeing laptop prototypes show up online. Ars Technica, one f my favorite tech publications, got hold of a prototype laptop featuring an Intel Core i7-1185G7, which contains four-core and eight threads with a base clock of 1.2GHz and a Turbo Boost clock of 4.8GHz. The laptop features the new Xe graphics chip, probably the most pinnacle hardware on the computer. What's so impressive is how iGPU outperforms the seven cores on the Ryzen 7 4700, making it all too remarkable.

During the test, the laptop ran at a 28W TDP ( THERMAL DESIGN POWER), quite impressive considering most laptops on the market are designed to run in 15W mode. The reduction of TDP signifies more battery power with less cooling components confined inside the computer, reducing overall cost.

The benchmarks test ran against a single-threaded mid-level Ryzen 7 4700U, matching CPU performance. But the Intel processor won in the multithreaded benchmarks, But Ryzen did well in single-threaded software. According to the GPU performance, by a wide margin, it outperformed the AMD processor and the previous Ice Lake-based laptop, while in 15W mode.

Even though we have the next generation Intel laptops on the verge of landing on the store shelves, keep in mind AMD will unveil their next next-gen processor very soon.
