Intel 10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G4 vs Intel 11th Gen Intel Core i5 1135G7: Comparison

What is the difference between 10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G4 and 11th Gen Intel Core i5 1135G7?

On l3 cache the spread is 25%, 10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G4 6 MB against 11th Gen Intel Core i5 1135G7 8 MB, so 11th Gen Intel Core i5 1135G7 takes it. Add l2 cache to that, 2 MB on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G4 versus 5 MB on the 11th Gen Intel Core i5 1135G7, and the pattern holds. Memory type is not the same on both, DDR4-3200, LPDDR4X-3733 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G4 versus DDR4-3200, LPDDR4-4266 on the 11th Gen Intel Core i5 1135G7.

Who each one is for

Take the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G4 for mid-range thin-and-light laptops wanting better integrated graphics than entry-level Ice Lake G1-tier chips. It is not the one for buyers wanting the strongest available Ice Lake integrated graphics, the G7 tier offers meaningfully more execution units. Take the 11th Gen Intel Core i5 1135G7 for mainstream productivity laptops wanting genuinely capable integrated graphics alongside solid CPU performance. It is the wrong buy for heavy multi-threaded workloads like video encoding or 3D rendering, the 4-core count remains a real ceiling.

Where the two are identical

Everything else lines up. Total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and integrated graphics read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 4 further specifications as well.

Frequently asked questions

Do the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G4 and 11th Gen Intel Core i5 1135G7 differ on p-core boost clock?

Yes. P-Core Boost Clock reads 3.7 GHz on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G4 versus 4.2 GHz on the 11th Gen Intel Core i5 1135G7.

Is the Product Line the same on the 10th Gen Intel Core i5 1035G4 and 11th Gen Intel Core i5 1135G7?

It is. Both are listed at Core i5, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
