Alleged Tiger Lake Y chip makes more of a purr than a roar in Geekbench test

[Redaktion]

A Tiger Lake Y processor has seemingly been spotted on Geekbench delivering some very unimpressive results. However, it's likely that if the record is genuine then Intel may be simply testing an early engineering sample (ES) that's not operating at its regular base clock rate. Tiger Lake is expected to be the successor to Intel's Ice Lake microarchitecture.

Others are saying this shows a 9-10% increase in IPC over Ice Lake, which would mean a ~25-30% increase over Skylake.  If this is true, it would appear to be much closer to a "roar" to me.

Apple 5nm A14 vs A9 sound like an earthquake for me then.

Skylake is a four year old architecture, which is pretty outdated by now. Skylake it's performance tanked when Spectre and Meltdown became public knowledge. AMD has almost had a 10% YOY IPC increase, and the intel chips use almost twice the power for twice as less core's (9900KS vs 3950x powerconsumption )
