Intel 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10710U vs Intel 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1185G7: Comparison
What is the difference between 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10710U and 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1185G7?
Start with l2 cache, because it is the widest measured gap between them: 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10710U 1 MB against 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1185G7 5 MB, 80% in favour of 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1185G7. Tdp is not the same on both, 15 W on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10710U versus 28 W on the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1185G7. There is a split on socket as well, FCBGA1528 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10710U versus FCBGA1449 on the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1185G7. Release year is not the same on both, 2019 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10710U versus 2020 on the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1185G7.
Who each one is for
Buy the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10710U for thin-and-light laptops wanting genuine 6-core multi-threaded performance at 15W. It is the wrong buy for buyers wanting maximum sustained clocks, the lower 1.1 GHz base clock reflects real thermal constraints at this power envelope. it is not the pick for buyers needing more than 4 cores for sustained multi-threaded work. It also earns its place with high-end thin-and-light laptops wanting Intel's strongest available integrated graphics alongside excellent per-core CPU performance.
What 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10710U and 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1185G7 have in common
Where they agree, they agree completely, efficiency cores, l3 cache, integrated graphics, socket status and product line included, so the decision does not turn on any of those. They match on 4 further specifications as well.
