11th Gen Intel Core i5 1135G7 Review

The 11th Gen Intel Core i5 1135G7 is a 4-core, 8-thread mainstream processor built on Tiger Lake, running a 2.4 GHz base clock that boosts to 4.2 GHz within a 28 Watt TDP, paired with Intel's Iris Xe Graphics carrying 80 execution units.

Tiger Lake's Willow Cove cores brought a real double-digit IPC gain over the outgoing Ice Lake generation, and the Iris Xe iGPU represented Intel's biggest integrated graphics leap in years, making this a genuinely well-rounded mid-range chip for its era.

Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 (80 EU)

One of the strongest integrated GPUs available at launch, with 80 execution units delivering meaningfully better light gaming performance than the previous-generation UHD graphics found on Ice Lake and Comet Lake chips.

How Is the Core i5 1135G7 in Terms of Performance

The 4-core, 8-thread layout and Willow Cove architecture combine for strong single-threaded responsiveness alongside genuine multi-threaded capability for a mid-range chip, comfortable with everyday productivity, browsing, and light content creation.

Benchmarks

Cinebench R23 multi-core scores of 5,041 and single-core scores of 1,358 reflect a real step up from the previous-generation Ice Lake i5 chips.
