I believe even 4P8E (i7-1260p) would be massive overkill for the majority of the users. HOWEVER, the problem is that if we step down a ladder to the i7-1265U with only 2 performance core and … you know. eeek.
a 6p8e would also be capable of drawing too much power (of being too powerful) that our laptop cannot handle. However the i7-1280P indeed have 6p8e but as I said. Do anyone really need the two extra performance core on his ultrabook? I don’t think so.
An imaginary lineup that covers a pretty board spectrum with three config would be the i7-1260p (high end), i5-1240p (mid-high end) and i5-1235 (mid end) and anything else being unnecessary. Although we can feature a “bare minimum” setup with the Pentium 8505 for budget users.
Which CPU do you think fit your bill?
- i7-1270P / i7-1260P
- i5-1250P/15-1240P
- i3-1220P
- i7-1265U/i7-1255U
- i5-1245U/i5-1235U
- i3-1215U
Keep in mind that the P series CPUs feature more cores, more graphics as well as more cache, as well as increased power consumption, while U series CPU feature less cores, about similar graphics (with less frequency) and less cache, despite being marketed as “i7” (which indicates high performance). A i7-1265U have the same number of cores as a i3-1220P except with a higher turbo and beefier graphics.
