Intel 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10875H vs Intel 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1185G7: Comparison

10th Gen Intel Core i7 10875H vs 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1185G7 total cores compared

These two are close on paper, and total cores is the only measure that separates them at all: 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10875H 8 against 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1185G7 4. L3 cache runs the same way, 16 MB on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10875H versus 12 MB on the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1185G7, another win for 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10875H. Add l2 cache to that, 2 MB on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10875H versus 5 MB on the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1185G7, and the pattern holds. They differ on socket too, FCBGA1440 on the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10875H versus FCBGA1449 on the 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1185G7.

Which should you buy, 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10875H or 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1185G7?

Take the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10875H for gaming and creator laptops wanting a high-boost-clock 8-core Comet Lake chip. Avoid it for budget-conscious buyers, the standard i7-10750H or i7-10870H deliver similar practical performance for typically less. it is the wrong buy 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.

Where the two are identical

The common ground is wider than the gap: efficiency cores, integrated graphics, socket status, product line and form factor are identical here. They match on 4 further specifications as well.

Frequently asked questions

Do the 10th Gen Intel Core i7 10875H and 11th Gen Intel Core i7 1185G7 differ on performance cores?
