Verdict

The Intel Core i3-1115G4 is a dual-core, four-thread processor from the 11th Gen Tiger Lake-UP3 family, built on a 10nm SuperFin process with a base frequency of 3.00 GHz and a max turbo boost of 4.10 GHz. It features 6MB of Intel Smart Cache, supports high-speed DDR4-3200 or LPDDR4x-3733 memory, and includes integrated Intel UHD Graphics for 11th Gen processors with a dynamic frequency up to 1.25 GHz. Main pros include its energy efficiency with a configurable TDP between 12W and 28W, support for PCIe 4.0, and solid single-core performance that makes it excellent for everyday office tasks, web browsing, and light media consumption. However, its primary cons are the limited dual-core architecture which struggles with heavy multitasking or modern AAA gaming, and underwhelming performance in demanding workloads like high-resolution video editing or rendering.
