Intel 10nm Ice Lake Benchmarks: 10th Gen Core i7 Performance Explored
Intel 10nm Ice Lake Processors - CPU Physics And 3DMark GPU Tests
For our next series of tests, we moved on to some game-related metrics with 3DMark, specifically the physics benchmarks that are a part of the Fire Strike, Night Raid, and Sky Diver tests. We're isolating the CPU / Physics tests an putting them into their own sections, but will feature the graphics tests as well to evaluate GPU performance...

The 25W Core i7-1065G7 configuration jumps out to a huge lead over all of the other processors / configurations tested, and competes with some more powerful desktop processors (a 6-core Core i5-9600K scores about 43 points in this test). When configured with a 15W TDP, performance tapers dramatically, but it remains in the mix with the Core i7-8565U and Ryzen rigs.

The DirectX 12-based Night Raid test doesn't output a standalone Physics result, but offers an overall CPU score. Here, the Ryzen 7-3700U trails the other systems by a wide margin, and the 25W Core i7-1065G7 finishes well out in front.

Shifting gears to the 3DMark GPU-bound graphics tests will give us a taste of Intel's Gen 11 Iris Plus graphics performance, relative to the previous-gen UHD 620 graphics engine in the Core i7-8565U and Vega 10 integrated into the Ryzen 7-3700U.
