11th Gen Intel Core i7-1160G7 Review

The 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1160G7 is a 4-core, 8-thread ultra-low-power Tiger Lake processor, running a 2.1 GHz base clock that boosts to 4.4 GHz within a genuinely efficient 15 Watt TDP.

This chip carries the same flagship-tier 96-EU Iris Xe graphics as the higher-TDP 1185G7, at a genuinely lower 15W power envelope for thinner, more battery-efficient laptop designs.

Intel Iris Xe Graphics G7 (96 EU)

The flagship 96-EU Iris Xe configuration, the strongest integrated graphics Intel offered in the Tiger Lake generation, capable of genuinely playable light gaming without a discrete GPU.

How Is the Core i7-1160G7 in Terms of Performance

The 4-core, 8-thread layout at a genuinely efficient 15W TDP gives this chip solid everyday responsiveness, with the flagship-tier Iris Xe graphics carrying over from the higher-power 1185G7 despite the lower power envelope.

Benchmarks

Cinebench R20 multi-core scores of 1,749 reflect solid performance for a genuinely low 15W power envelope, trading some sustained throughput against the higher-TDP 1185G7 in exchange for better battery efficiency.
