HP Laptop, 11th Generation Intel Core i5-1135G7, Intel Iris Xe Graphics

so let's start with the cpu hp notebook 15 is now powered by the intel's 11th generation intel core i5 processor this is from the tiger lake family cpus so this is a brand new cpu architecture and it is supposed to compete with amd's latest ryzen mobile processors here is a chart showing the key differences between this year's central processor versus last year's model so intel core i5 1135 g7 it brings the new tiger lake micro architecture and it's built on intel's refined 10 nanometer process technology so intel marketing team is calling this 10 nanometers super fin and they claim that this process technology

it is bringing the same transistor density as tsmc's 7 nanometer process technology let's take a look at the cpu cores so the turbo frequency the max frequency that these cores can run has gone up from 3.6 to 4.2 gigahertz you're also getting eight meg of cash up from six meg from last year's model so these changes should boost both the single and the multi-core performance of this laptop intel has als bumped the pci express revision from 3.0 to 4.0 now pcie it's a high-speed serial expansion bus standard for attaching hardware devices to a computer so the newer ford auto version it is supposed to bring faster data transfer speeds so on paper guys these cpu spec bumps they look really impressive but how do they translate into real world performance so let's take a look at the cpu pass mark benchmark the latest 11th generation intel core i5 processor has completely smoked last year's model and it scores a whopping 23 performance lead so i think hp has really picked the best cpu in this slow thermal envelope so whether you're planning to do casuals you know internet surfing or running productivity apps like microsoft office or if you plan to do software development or if you're just watching you know youtube videos this laptop should chug along nicely by the way this improved cpu performance also comes with increased battery life while last year's model was already delivering over 8 hours of battery life hp as now managed to bump it up to closer to 9 hours and they have done it without actually increasing the size of the battery

so i think that's pretty impressive okay now let's talk about the gpu so hp notebook 15 is using an integrated intel iris xc graphics this is a brand new graphics architecture from intel and it finally brings intel at parity with amd and nvidia integrated graphics now compared to last year's intel uhd graphics which i think were mediocre at best intel xe graphics brings many advancements intel has not only bumped the base and the turbo clock frequency it has also dramatically expanded the number of execution units and shaders in this new gpu architecture all these improvements bring a significant boost in graphics performance in igpu fp32 performance benchmark intel iris xc graphics was almost 50 faster than last year's intel usd graphics so finally you will be able to play fortnite at full hd resolution on this laptop at a respectable frame rate now this graphics chip also supports ful hardware acceleration of 4k video codecs like h264 avc and vp9
