Intel Core i7-1195G7 vs Intel Core i7-1365UE Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark split between these two mobile processors is one-sided, but the margin tells the real story. The Intel Core i7-1365UE wins all six recorded Cinebench comparisons, from R15 through R23, in both single-core and multi-core tests. That is a clean sweep, but the victories are narrow, ranging from 4.8% to 5.2%. This is not a generational gap that changes the character of a laptop; it is a consistent, modest advantage across every workload type.

For users who prioritize sustained multi-threaded work, the 1365UE is the safer pick. Its multi-core lead in Cinebench R23 is 5.2%, which translates to a 9257 score against 8803 for the 1195G7. In shorter R15 runs, the lead is 5.1%, with 932 versus 887. These are not massive differences, but they are repeatable, and in rendering or compiling tasks that run for minutes, a 5% edge can shave noticeable time off a project.

Single-core performance also favors the 1365UE, but again by a slim margin. The R20 single-core test shows 548 versus 521, a 5.2% lead. The R23 single-core result is 1306 against 1242, also 5.2%. For everyday responsiveness, web browsing, and lightly threaded applications, the difference will be barely perceptible. Both chips are strong in this area, and the 1195G7's higher boost clock does not close the gap.

The 1195G7 does have one unique data point: Geekbench results. It records a 4248 multi-core and 1584 single-core score. The 1365UE has no Geekbench entries in the database, so direct comparison there is not possible. If you rely on Geekbench as your primary metric, the 1195G7 at least has numbers on the board, but the Cinebench suite suggests the 1365UE would likely hold a similar narrow edge.

In short: the 1365UE wins everywhere it is measured, but the 1195G7 is never embarrassed. The practical takeaway is that the 1365UE is the better all-around performer, while the 1195G7 is a capable alternative that loses by inches, not miles.

Architecture Differences

The two chips come from different Intel generations, and that shows up in core counts, memory support, and connectivity. The 1365UE is a Raptor Lake-U part, built on Intel's 10 nm process. It packs 10 cores and 12 threads, which is a hybrid arrangement typical of newer Intel mobile silicon. The 1195G7 is a Tiger Lake-U part, also on a 10 nm process, but with just 4 cores and 8 threads. That core disparity is the primary reason the 1365UE wins multi-core tests, even though the per-core clocks are lower.

Base and boost clocks tell a complementary story. The 1195G7 starts at 2.90 GHz and boosts to 5.00 GHz. The 1365UE starts lower at 1.70 GHz but boosts to 4.90 GHz. The higher base clock on the 1195G7 helps it stay responsive at low load, while the 1365UE leans on its extra cores to carry multi-threaded tasks. The boost clocks are nearly identical, differing by only 0.10 GHz, which explains why single-core scores are so close.

Cache configurations are identical: 80 KB L1 per core, 1.25 MB L2 per core, and 12 MB shared L3. That means the 1365UE's advantage comes purely from core count, not from a larger cache pool. Memory support differs. The 1365UE accepts DDR4 and DDR5, while the 1195G7 is limited to DDR4, LPDDR4, and LPDDR4X. Both run dual-channel memory, so bandwidth is not a differentiator, but the 1365UE offers newer memory options for laptops that support them.

PCIe lanes are another split. The 1365UE provides 8 Gen 4 lanes from the CPU, while the 1195G7 offers 16 Gen 4 lanes. For a laptop with a discrete GPU and fast NVMe storage, the 1195G7's extra lanes could matter, though many mobile designs do not exhaust 8 lanes in practice. Integrated graphics differ as well: the 1365UE has Iris Xe Graphics 80EU, while the 1195G7 steps up to Iris Xe-LP Graphics G7 96EU. The 1195G7 has more execution units, which may help in light gaming or media encoding, though the database does not include graphics benchmarks for either chip.

Socket and platform are not interchangeable. The 1365UE uses Intel BGA 1744, while the 1195G7 uses Intel BGA 1449. That means no upgrade path between them; a motherboard designed for one will not accept the other. The 1195G7 has a recorded die size of 144 mm², while the 1365UE's die size is not listed. The 1195G7 is also marked end-of-life in production status, while the 1365UE is active. The 1365UE has no launch MSRP recorded; the 1195G7 launched at $426.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Every recorded head-to-head comparison comes from the Cinebench suite, and the 1365UE wins all six. The largest margins are in the R20 and R23 tests, where the delta reaches 5.2%. In Cinebench R20 multi-core, the 1365UE scores 3887 against 3697 for the 1195G7, a 5.1% win. In R23 multi-core, 9257 beats 8803 by 5.2%. These are the tests that stress all cores, and the 1365UE's 10 cores against 4 cores deliver the expected result, though the narrow percentage suggests the 1195G7's higher clocks help it stay competitive.

Single-core results are similarly tight. Cinebench R15 single-core has the 1365UE at 131 versus 125, a 4.8% lead. R20 single-core shows 548 against 521, a 5.2% lead. R23 single-core is 1306 versus 1242, also 5.2%. The 1195G7's 5.00 GHz boost clock is 0.10 GHz higher than the 1365UE's 4.90 GHz, but the 1365UE still manages to edge ahead in every single-thread test. This points to a better IPC (instructions per clock) on the Raptor Lake architecture, even at a slightly lower frequency.

The smallest delta is in R15 single-core at 4.8%, and the largest is 5.2% across R20 and R23 in both single and multi-core. There is no test where the 1195G7 wins, and no test where the 1365UE runs away. The pattern is consistent: the newer chip is better, but the older chip is not obsolete. In real-world use, a 5% difference is often within the noise of thermal throttling and power limits, especially in thin laptops where both parts might run at reduced clocks.

The 1195G7's only additional benchmark data are Geekbench scores, which have no counterpart for the 1365UE. Those results, 4248 multi-core and 1584 single-core, place the 1195G7 in a solid mid-range position, but without a direct comparison, they are informational rather than decisive.

The Verdict

The data points to the Intel Core i7-1365UE as the better processor for most buyers. It wins every benchmark where both are measured, with margins between 4.8% and 5.2%. Its 10 cores and 12 threads make it the stronger choice for multi-threaded productivity, and its single-core lead, while small, is consistent. It also supports newer DDR5 memory and remains in active production, which matters for long-term availability and platform longevity.

The 1195G7 is not a bad chip, but it is a legacy part. Its 4 cores and 8 threads are enough for everyday tasks, and its higher base clock of 2.90 GHz and boost of 5.00 GHz keep it responsive. It offers more PCIe lanes (16 versus 8) and a more powerful integrated GPU (96EU versus 80EU), which could matter for light gaming or GPU-accelerated tasks. Its Geekbench scores, 4248 multi-core and 1584 single-core, show it is a capable mid-range mobile processor.

Choose the 1365UE if you want the best recorded performance in Cinebench, plan to use DDR5 memory, or need a chip that is still active in the market. Choose the 1195G7 if you have a specific need for more PCIe lanes, prefer the higher execution unit count in the integrated graphics, or are working within an existing Tiger Lake platform. For a new purchase, the 1365UE is the data-backed pick.
