Intel 10th Gen Intel Core i7 1068NG7 vs Intel 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1165G7: Comparison
10th Gen Intel Core i7 1068NG7 vs 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1165G7: the l3 cache difference
The gap that matters here is l3 cache: 10th Gen Intel Core i7 1068NG7 8 MB against 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1165G7 12 MB, which puts 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1165G7 33% ahead. L2 cache runs the same way, 2 MB on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 1068NG7 versus 5 MB on the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1165G7, another win for 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1165G7. There is a split on igpu model as well, Intel Iris Plus Graphics G7 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 1068NG7 versus Intel Iris Xe Graphics on the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1165G7.
10th Gen Intel Core i7 1068NG7 vs 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1165G7: which one fits your build
Take the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 1068NG7 for premium 15W ultraportable laptops wanting Intel's strongest available Ice Lake configuration. Avoid it for buyers with access to the 28W 1068G7 variant, that chip has more thermal headroom for sustained workloads. Take the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1165G7 for ultraportable laptops wanting the strongest available single-thread performance and integrated graphics in Intel's 11th Gen U-series lineup. It is not the one for buyers who specifically need more than 4 cores for sustained multi-threaded work, the H-series chips of the same generation are the right choice for that.
Where the two are identical
Everything else lines up. Total cores, performance cores, efficiency cores, total threads and tdp read the same on both, so those are not worth weighing. They match on 9 further specifications as well.
Frequently asked questions
Do the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 1068NG7 and 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1165G7 differ on p-core boost clock?
Yes. P-Core Boost Clock reads 4.1 GHz on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 1068NG7 versus 4.7 GHz on the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1165G7.
Is the Socket Status the same on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 1068NG7 and 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1165G7?
It is. Both are listed at End of Life, so it is not a reason to pick one over the other.
