Intel Core i7-1065G7
A 15W ultrabook chip from Intel's first 10nm generation, launched in 2019. Four Sunny Cove cores without a hybrid core split give steady if unremarkable multi-thread output, while 64-EU Iris Plus graphics roughly doubled integrated graphics performance over the previous generation.
Pros
- Iris Plus Graphics with 64 execution units, roughly double the previous generation's integrated graphics performance
- Configurable down to 12W for thin, fanless laptop designs
- Supports fast LPDDR4-3733 memory alongside DDR4-3200
- AVX-512 support was unusual for a 15W mobile chip at the time
Cons
- Only four cores with no hybrid core design, so multi-thread throughput trails later Comet Lake and Tiger Lake U-series chips
- First-generation 10nm process limited sustained clock speeds under thermal constraints
- Integrated graphics still well behind a discrete GPU for real gaming
- Superseded within about a year by the significantly faster Tiger Lake generation
