Other improvements for Ice Lake are the AI hardware acceleration and the partial integration of Thunderbolt and Wi-Fi 6 in the chip.
The faster variants include Iris Plus G4 and G7. The Core i5-1035G1 integrates the smallest GPU, the UHD Graphics that features 32 of the 64 CUs and clocks at 300 - 1050 MHz. The biggest improvement for Ice-Lake is the integrated Gen 11 graphics adapter called UHD Graphics G1. The difference of the Core i5-1035G1 to the similar i5-1035G4 and i5-1035G7 is the base clock (100 MHz lower here) and the iGPU model (UHD Graphics instead of the Iris Plus here). According to Intel the Sunnycove cores achieve 18% more IPCs (Instructions per Clock) and therefore the CPU performance should be similar to the higher clocked Whiskey-Lake predecessors (e.g.
2 cores can reach 3.5 GHz (unverified) and up to 3.2 GHz are possible for all 4 cores with the Turbo Boost technology. It integrates four Sunnycove processor cores (8 threads thanks to HyperThreading) clocked at 1 (base) - 3.6 (single core Turbo) GHz. The Intel Core i5-1035G1 is a power efficient quad-core SoC for laptops and Ultrabooks based on the Ice-Lake-U generation that was announced in May 2019 (Computex).
