The CPU performance of the Intel Core i5-1135G7 deviates significantly from that of the Yoga 7 14ITL5, and it does so in a downward direction. However, there are two perspectives here: Short-term and long-term load. In the short-term range (Cinebench R15 Multi), the results of the Tiger Lake Core i5 are better than those of the Yoga 7. Under prolonged load, on the other hand, as seen in the Cinebench R15 Loop, performance declines and drops well below the level of the Yoga 7 14ITL5 after the 8th run.
Power Mode makes a significant difference: “Smart Cooling” leads to the red curve (-27%), “High Performance” to the orange curve (-19%). We displayed the test device with the “Performance” identifier in the charts.
The short-term performance is determined by the PL2 TDP; the test device allows 50 watts for a few seconds here. But only in “High Performance” mode; under “Smart Cooling”, it reaches 35 watts. PL1 determines the long-term TDP; it’s 20 watts in “Smart Cooling” and 25 watts in “High Performance”.
In regard to short-term performance, the Core i5-1135G7 can be impressive, but it clearly falls behind the Ryzen 5 4600U (-32%). Because the Ryzen doesn’t throttle under load, the gap to Intel even increases up to -38% under prolonged load. However, not every 4th generation Ryzen computes this fast; the 4500U in the ThinkPad E14 is only slightly faster, but it also doesn’t suffer from a performance drop under continuous load.
Meanwhile, other Intel counterparts are not better but partly even much worse instead, even with the Tiger Lake Core i7. The Pavilion 13 with the i7-1165G7 throttles from the start, and the Swift 3 with the i5-1135G7 doesn’t get going at all. In short: The ThinkBook 13s-ITL with the i5 is more powerful than comparable Intel models, but it can’t keep up with Ryzen 4 processors.
