Verdict

The Intel Core i7-1180G7 is a power-efficient quad-core processor from the 11th Gen Tiger Lake-UP4 family, featuring 4 cores, 8 threads, and a 12MB L3 cache. Built on a 10nm SuperFin process, it operates within a low TDP range of 7W to 15W, with a base clock of 0.9 GHz to 2.2 GHz and a single-core turbo boost reaching 4.6 GHz. Its main strengths include the integrated Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units, support for PCIe 4.0, Thunderbolt 4, and Wi-Fi 6, making it ideal for ultra-thin laptops and tablets. However, its performance is limited by strict power constraints compared to the higher-wattage UP3 series, and its quad-core configuration is increasingly outpaced by newer multi-core mobile architectures in demanding workloads.
