The higher-end Iris Plus G4 and G7 offer higher clock speeds (up to 1100 MHz) and up to 64 EUs. The Core i3-1005G1 integrates the smallest GPU, the UHD Graphics with 32 of the 64 EUs clocked at 300 - 900 MHz. The biggest improvement for Ice-Lake is the integrated Gen 11 graphics processor called UHD Graphics G1. While not as slow as an Intel Celeron, a Core i3-1005G1 will still look out of place in anything but entry-level laptops and mini-PCs. This is unfortunately in line with what we've been seeing from most other Ice Lake family processors. The average 1005G1 in our database is a disappointment, its multi-thread benchmark scores only matching those of Intel Core i5-7267U and AMD Ryzen 3 2300U. The integrated DDR4 memory controller supports modules with up to 3200 MHz (and LPDDDR4 3733). Other improvements for Ice Lake are the AI hardware acceleration and the partial integration of Thunderbolt and Wifi 6 in the chip. According to Intel the Sunnycove cores achieve 18% more IPCs (Instructions per Clock). It integrates two Sunnycove processor cores (4 threads thanks to HyperThreading) clocked at 1.2 (base) - 3.4 GHz (single and dual core Turbo). The Intel Core i3-1005G1 is a power efficient dual-core SoC for laptops and Ultrabooks based on the Ice Lake-U generation that was announced in Mai 2019 (Computex). Intel Core i3-1005G1 ► remove from comparison Therefore, laptops using the Snapdragon 8cx can be passively cooled (no fan) and should not throttle under constant load. The chip is very power efficient as its produced at TSMC in the modern 7 process. Microsoft claims 2 TFlops theoretical performance compared to the 1.8 for the Adreno 680 (+11%). The integrated Adreno 685 graphics card is a higher clocked version of the Adreno 680 in the Snapdragon 8cx. 32 bit applications and games for AMD/Intel run in a rather slow emulation and 65 bit apps wont start at all. However, this is only the case for native ARM64 compiled Windows apps which are not that many (in mid 2019). The processor performance should be similar to a Intel Core i5 8th gen U-series (e.g. Furthermore, the SoC integrates ac-Wifi and a dual-channel 32-bit 1866 MHz LPDDR4x memory controller. The integrated X24 LTE modem supports up to 2 Gbps download speeds. The 4 Kryo 495 Silver cores are small ARM Cortex-A55 cores for power efficiency and clocked at 1.9 GHz (unverified) under load.

The 4 Kryo 495 Gold cores are based on the ARM Cortex-A76 architecture (for performance) and clocked at up to 3 GHz (2.84 GHz for the 8cx) under load (no single core Turbo).

It is based on the Snapdragon 8cx but with higher clocked CPU and GPU cores. The Microsoft SQ1 is a ARM based SoC for Windows tablets ( Surface Pro X).
