A side-by-side comparison of specs, performance and value. The Intel Core i7-11375H is a 4-core, 8-thread mobile processor built on the 10nm SuperFin process, designed for thin-and-light gaming laptops and premium ultraportables requiring high single-threaded performance.
The Bottom Line
Overview & Launch
Specifications Compared
Performance Compared
Productivity
Snappy application launches and excellent single-threaded responsiveness.
The 5.0 GHz boost provides unmatched snappiness for daily tasks.
Gaming
Delivers high framerates in esports titles when paired with a discrete GPU.
Excellent when paired with a discrete GPU due to 16 PCIe 4.0 lanes.
Virtualization
Limited by 4 cores; suitable for light VM usage but not heavy workloads.
Good for light VMs, but 4 cores limit heavy virtualization.
Efficiency
The 28W TDP combined with 10nm SuperFin offers great performance per watt.
Pushing 5.0 GHz on 10nm can generate significant heat in thin chassis.
