Core i5-1038NG7 Details

The Intel Core i5-1038NG7 represents a significant step in Intel's mobile processor lineup, designed for premium ultrabooks and thin-and-light systems launched in May 2020. As of early 2026, it remains a relevant option for users prioritizing power efficiency and integrated graphics performance without the need for discrete GPU support. Built on Intel’s 10 nm process and based on the Sunny Cove-U microarchitecture, the chip integrates a 28 W TDP and a BGA 1344 package, making it ideal for compact, fanless, or low-power designs. With a base clock of 2.0 GHz and a turbo boost up to 3.8 GHz, the Core i5-1038NG7 leverages Intel Hyper-Threading to deliver eight logical threads, enhancing multitasking and productivity workloads.

The processor features a 4-core, 8-thread configuration with 6 MB of L3 cache, 76 KB of L1 cache, and 244 KB of L2 cache, providing a balanced memory hierarchy for efficient data access. It supports DDR4-3200 memory via a dual-channel interface, enabling a maximum bandwidth of 51.2 GB/s, which is essential for modern applications and content creation. On the graphics side, the Iris Plus integrated GPU delivers solid visual performance for everyday tasks, media playback, and light gaming, though it lacks the power of dedicated solutions. The chip also includes full support for Intel virtualization technologies, including VT-x and VT-d, making it suitable for virtualization and software development environments.

In benchmark testing, the Core i5-1038NG7 achieves a Passmark Overall Score of 5318, placing it at #602 among 2060 processors. It scores 5530 in Singlecore and 4999 in Multicore, ranking #535 and #643 respectively. While these results are strong for a mobile processor, they fall behind modern high-end CPUs like the Core Ultra 9 285K or Ryzen 9 9950X3D, which dominate the top 50. However, the Core i5-1038NG7 holds its own against contemporaries such as the Core i5-1145G7 and Ryzen 3 5425U, particularly in single-threaded performance. Its multicore score is comparable to the Core i5-8350U and Ryzen 3 5400U, indicating it remains competitive for general productivity tasks.

The processor supports a wide range of instruction sets, including AVX2 and AVX-512, along with AES-NI, BMI1/BMI2, and FMA3, ensuring compatibility with modern software and encryption workloads. Its 10 nm manufacturing process and 65 mm² die size reflect Intel’s efforts to balance performance and power efficiency in mobile platforms. Despite being over five years old, the Core i5-1038NG7 remains a viable choice for users seeking a reliable, low-power CPU for office applications, web browsing, and light multimedia use, especially in systems where integrated graphics and long battery life are priorities.
