Intel Ice Lake benchmarked - i7 performs better with lower TDP than Ryzen 7 3750H-APU
While the tide is turning in favor of AMD on the processor front you can rest assured that Intel is not let that happen quietly. We've already talked about the Ice Lake a couple of times and as it so happens, a new series of benchmarks have leaked.
This round in Passmark, where it is battling with a Ryzen 7 3750H and 3500U. Passmark took the results offline, but you cannot bypass google cache eh?
The Ryzen 7 3750H achieved 9.112 points in the multi-threaded test, while the Ice Lake chip (i7 1065G7, scored) revealed a score of 10.316 points. Team blue shows a TDP of 15 watts, while team red with Ryzen 7 did that with a TDP of 35 watts. The Ryzen 5 3500U, a chip that does have a 15 watt tdp, has a score of 8,042 points. The i7's clock frequency is between 1.3 and 3.9 GHz, while the base and boost clock of the Ryzen 7 is 2.1 GHz and 3.7 GHz respectively. The single-threaded CPU is also a lot better; the i7 1065G7 ran with 2,625 points in circles around the Ryzen 5 with 1,818 points. The Ryzen 7 gained 1,899 points.
Intel promises at least 19 percent more IPC with Ice Lake, intended for the mobile platform. Ice Lake processors are manufactured at 10nm and equipped with Sunny Cove cores. AMD promises 15 percent more IPC at Zen 2.

Wait, are those benchmark has any hint on GPU performance? Cause I don't want APU that performance like i7, yet can't handle minecraft on lowest settings.

A bit misleading... We all know that Intel's TDP only comes from base clocks. That CPU could boost to 4.5GHz, absolutely obliterate AMD in single-threaded burst calculations, and it'd still be called a 15W part.
Since that chart only shows single-threaded, that makes it very clear that the boost clocks are doing all the heavy lifting.
Keep in mind, I don't necessarily have a problem with boost clocks, but my point is these parts can't really be compared since the i7 isn't really a 15W part. Granted, I call BS that the Ryzen is a 15W part too, especially if the GPU is also under heavy load.
I guess what I'm saying is comparing laptop performance is utterly useless. The only thing that matters is who has better performance-per-watt (from the wall, not claimed by the manufacturer...) and performance-per-

^ That's fair. Intel makes "honest mistakes" way too often with SDP vs. TDP.

Agreeing with all the above re: Intel, AMD and appropriate scepticism. I would also like to weight in re: price. If AMD's offering is a sub 600 GBP laptop offering APU, then also looking at very different performance brackets. I have recently got both AMD Ryzen 5 laptop and Ryzen 3xxx laptop and both were sub 600GBP and significantly better value offerings than Intel equivalents even on same brands (Lenovo, ASUS). Not saying Intel doesn't have a winner, but I will reserve judgement until it is released...as well as wonder how they will change their cpu to cover for all existing security flaws whilst maintaining performance increase...

As Intel is currently constrained on 10nm it will be interesting to see how these are priced compared to AMD.
Lots of Intel news recently so I guess the new AMD processor will not be a dud.
