Intel Core i5-L16G7 (Lakefield) outperforms Snapdragon 8cx in most benchmarks
A few days ago Intel announced the new Lakefield processors based on the 10nm lithographic process. Now the first benchmark of the Core i5-L16G7 processor which has a Sunny Cove core and four Tremont cores. This processor is also accompanied by a Gen11 iGPU and an LPDDR4X controller that supports up to 8GB @ 4267MHz.
These new Lakefield processors are the first to be developed based on the Foveros 3D architecture. Intel's proprietary technology enables the development of modular and stackable processors. Just yesterday Intel showed what would be the first modular GPU in history, apparently also built in Foveros. And is that Intel stacking technology is the future for the company's processors.
- 7th generation Intel Core i9700 XNUMXK processor with eight cores,
- With Intel Turbo Boost Max 3.0 Technology, the maximum turbo frequency this processor can achieve is 4.9 GHz.
- This processor also supports dual channel DDR4-2666 RAM and uses XNUMXth generation technology.
- Note: The boxed product does not include a fan or heat sink.
- WARNING! Check on the manufacturer's website if this device is compatible with your systems.
First benchmark of the Intel Core i5-L16G7 processor
About the Core i5-L16G7 processor indicate that it has a high-performance core of Sunny Cove architecture and four high-efficiency cores of Tremont architecture. In addition, this processor works at a frequency of 1.4GHz and in Boost mode it can reach 3.0GHz. All the cores of this processor can work simultaneously at 1.8GHz. The iGPU has 64 Execution Units @ 500MHz. It has a TDP of only 7W.
This processor has been designed for simple laptops and ultrabooks. The first benchmark compares this processor with TDP's 8W Snapdragon 7cx, which is based on the ARM architecture.
Under Cinebench R15 the Core i5-L16G7 processor scores 88,3 points, we assume on the efficiency cores. The difference in single core with the Core i5-1035G1 is 48% in favor of the Tiger Lake processor and in multicore the difference is 162%. The difference is great, but for practical purposes the Lakefield processor is more efficient and designed for very low consumption.
Furthermore, it has been compared to the ARM architecture Snapdragon 8cx under the JetStream web browser. Under JetStream 1.1 the Intel processor is 15% more powerful, in JetStream the Intel processor is 21% more powerful and in WebXPRT 3 the Core i5-L16G7 wins by 4%. It only loses the Intel processor in the Mozilla Kraken 1.1, where the Snapdragon wins by 12%. Under 3DMark 11 @ 720p the Intel processor also beats the Adreno 680 by 4%.
