The 1185G7 is very slightly faster than the 1165G7, but not enough to account for the results Tiger Lake reports. PCMag compared the performance of a Tiger Lake Dell Inspiron 7000 2-in-1 equipped with an Iris Xe Max (CPU model wasn't given, but I'm willing to bet it's a Core i7-1165G7). Interestingly, however, this is not what PCMag's benchmarks show. It has 1.33x more memory bandwidth and up to 1.22x more clock. In other words: We should expect to see the Iris Xe Max outpace the Xe integrated inside Tiger Lake, even if only by a little. Memory bandwidth will depend on RAM speed, but assuming DDR4-3200 was used, that's 51.2GB/s of bandwidth. The Core i7-1185G7 runs its clock at up to 1350MHz. The Iris Xe Max runs at up to 1650MHz core clock, with an LPDDR4X clock of 2133MHz, for a total of 68.26GB/s of memory bandwidth. Intel's latest full-fat integrated GPU, the Xe Graphics G7, is built into chips like the Core i7-1185G7, also have a 768:48:24 configuration. It uses LPDDR4X to keep power consumption down, instead of GDDR, and it offers a 128-bit memory bus, with a 4GB RAM buffer. The Iris Xe Max is Intel's first discrete GPU in many years and it sports 768 cores, 48 TMUs, and 24 ROPS (768:48:24). Our sister site PCMag recently took a laptop equipped with an Iris Xe Max for a spin, (Opens in a new window) and what they found was rather odd. It is, however, identical to the well-received 11th Gen integrated GPU, and should therefore have at least some basic gaming capabilities. The first thing I want to say here is that the Intel Iris Xe Max is not marketed as a gaming GPU, even though it's a discrete solution.
