Intel® Core™ i7-8705G

The Intel Core i7-8705G is a laptop processor with 4 cores and 8 threads, built on the Kaby Lake architecture (14 nm process). It launched in Jan 2018. Clocks run from 3.1 GHz base to 4.1 GHz boost. A 8-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.3 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 64 GB across 2 channels. The chip drops into the FCBGA2270 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (8 lanes). Rated TDP is 65 W. Notable platform capabilities: Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Core i7-8705G scores 2,188 in single-core performance and 7,608 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 4,080 for overall performance, 8,008 for productivity performance, 8,123 for creator performance, 7,323 for engineering performance and 8,466 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,902 per core, 951 per thread and 117 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 506. Its performance index is 51, so its overall performance is 49% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Core i7-8705G scores 24,242 in integer math, 14,934 in floating-point math, 103,641 in compression, 2,606 in cryptography, 566 in physics simulation, 6,795 in vector SIMD, 27 in the prime sieve and 13,384 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 59% below in integer math, 67% below in floating-point math, 55% below in compression, 77% below in cryptography, 48% below in physics simulation, 56% below in vector SIMD, 60% below in the prime sieve and 41% below in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Core i7-8705G has 4 physical cores and runs 8 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 3.10 GHz and boosts up to 4.10 GHz.
