Intel Core i5-1135G7
Intel's volume 11th-gen ultrabook chip from 2020, found in countless sub-$700 laptops of its era. Four Willow Cove cores and an 80-EU Iris Xe iGPU cover office work, web browsing and light photo editing comfortably, though multi-core throughput trails later hybrid designs.
Pros
- Iris Xe (80 EU) graphics handled light gaming and video editing well for its time
- 10nm SuperFin process gave solid battery life in thin ultrabook chassis
- Extremely broad OEM adoption across budget and business laptops
- Thunderbolt 4, USB4 and Wi-Fi 6 support built in
Cons
- Only 4 cores/8 threads, well behind later 12-core hybrid designs in multi-core work
- No DDR5 or LPDDR5 memory support
- Configurable 12-28W TDP means real-world performance varies a lot between laptop models
Below average
