Intel Tiger Lake-U Benchmark Appears in Geekbench 5

This morning, a Twitter user uploaded what appears to be benchmark scores for Intel's 11th generation processors, aka Tiger Lake, and the scores uploaded to Geekbench are for the Tiger Lake-U processor, which Intel is currently only plans to install them in notebooks. In the future, they may be included in desktops, but that will come after Comet Lake is introduced.

So far, there have been no definitive figures to show how Tiger Lake's performance compares to that of 10th generation processors (aka Ice Lake); assuming the Geekbench numbers are true, Tiger Lake-U's performance would be 1400 on a single-core score and 4920 for the multi-core score, which is a modest improvement.

For comparison, Intel's Core i7-1065G7 and Core i7-10710U speeds are 1229 and 4510, respectively, and 1092 and 4985, respectively. However, the base clock frequency of the Tiger Lake-U is 2.30 GHZ, while the base clock of the i7-1062G7 is 1.50 GHz and the i7-10710U is 1.61 GHz. From this point of view, the 11th generation processors have significantly improved performance over the previous generation.

The bigger question, and one that has yet to be answered, is how Tiger Lake will perform with respect to gaming. Intel claims that Tiger Lake's Xe graphics performance will be twice as good as that obtained with Ice Lake, i7-1065G7, and Iris Plus graphics. (If true.) It would be a relatively powerful gaming solution in a thin and light laptop.

While there is still no word on when Tiger Lake will be available in laptops (Intel said at CES that it will ship to OEMs this summer, which could mean Q2 or Q3 2020), Intel is planning a February 2020 launch of AMD's Ryzen 7 4000 mobile processor, which will have to contend with AMD's Ryzen 7 4000 mobile processor.

The same Twitter user also leaked Time Spy CPU scores for the Ryzen 7 4800H, comparing it to 3rd and 2nd generation desktop Ryzen processors. At CES, AMD claimed that the 4000 series mobile processors would have desktop-grade performance. If these numbers are true, it appears that the Ryzen 7 4800H will overtake Intel's Core i7-9700K.
