Manhandled by the Intel Core i7-8500Y Amber Lake on the CPU part.
–
Already seen at the end of January, le SoC Intel Core i5-L16G7 Lakefield remembers to our fond memories. It has been subjected to several tests, including Cinebench R20 and Fire Strike. Remember that this chip has five cores: four small Tremont cores with low consumption and a high performance Sunny Cove core. Lakefield products are the first to benefit from Intel’s Foveros technology.
Notebookcheck tested the Core i5-L16G7 in the Samsung Galaxy Book S. The chip has a TDP of only 7W, which allows it to be passively cooled. Theoretically, it can go up to a maximum frequency of 3 GHz. In this case, it does not exceed 2.4 GHz.

The performances are not exceptional, especially on the CPU part. The Lakefield chip is notably dominated by l’i7-8500Y on Cinebench R20, whether in single-core or multi-core, an Amber Lake processor with 2 cores / 4 threads with a PDT of 5-7W. The Core i5-L16G7 takes the advantage over FireStrike, however. For the CPU part, obviously, the Soc Lakefield suffers from not reaching its maximum frequency of 3 GHz.
As expected, most of the workload is distributed among the Tremont low-consumption cores. The Sunny Cove heart only intervenes punctually and in a limited period of time. This strategy necessarily requires that the operating system correctly manage the SoC. Notebookcheck does not rule out some errors in this regard. As the site specifies, the main advantage of this Lakefield processor compared to ARM models should mainly be its native compatibility with all 64-bit applications.
