About Hardware AMD E1-1200

Released in 2012 as part of the Brazos 2.0 family, the AMD E1-1200 is a power-efficient processor aimed at entry-level laptops. It has a 2 core and 2 thread configuration with a fixed clock speed of 1.4 GHz, with no support for Turbo Core technology. Built with a 40nm fabrication process, the E1-1200 has a TDP value of 18 watts-efficient enough for portable devices that emphasize low power consumption and longer battery life. Despite its limited performance, the E1-1200 was a popular choice in its day thanks to its affordable price and ability to handle light computing needs.

One of the main advantages of the AMD E1-1200 is the integrated Radeon HD 7310 GPU, which offers better graphics performance than Intel's entry-level graphics solutions at the time. This GPU has the ability to play HD resolution videos smoothly, as well as run light games such as Counter Strike 1.6, Plants vs Zombies, or other casual games with minimum graphics settings. That said, this combination of CPU and GPU is not intended for heavy-duty work such as video editing, 3D rendering, or modern gaming. Overall performance is more optimal when used for tasks such as browsing, streaming videos, accessing social media, typing documents, as well as basic office applications.

However, it should be noted that the AMD E1-1200 is less suitable for heavy multitasking, especially in modern operating systems like Windows 10. With a low clock speed and no Boost feature, users may experience lag or limitations when opening multiple applications at once. In tests using the HP 1000 1b05au laptop, this processor was paired with 4GB DDR3 single channel RAM (2 DIMM slots) and tested on Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 operating systems. The results show that the most optimal performance is achieved on Windows 7 or Windows 8, while in Windows 10 the system tends to be slow although it can still be used for basic needs. As such, the AMD E1-1200 can still be relied upon as a power-efficient and inexpensive solution for users with very light computing needs.

About Hardware Intel Core i7 11700

The Intel Core i7-11700 is a powerful desktop processor released in Q1 2021, as part of Intel’s 11th Generation Rocket Lake family. Designed for enthusiasts, gamers, and content creators, this CPU offers a solid balance of single-threaded and multi-threaded performance. It features 8 physical cores and 16 threads, making it ideal for tasks such as gaming, streaming, 4K video editing, 3D rendering, and heavy multitasking.

With a base clock speed of 2.5 GHz and a maximum turbo frequency of up to 4.9 GHz, the i7-11700 delivers strong performance out of the box. The processor is built on Intel’s 14nm process node, but with significant architectural improvements over the previous generation, notably higher IPC (Instructions Per Cycle) thanks to the Cypress Cove core design. Despite using the older 14nm process, these architectural upgrades allow the i7-11700 to compete closely with AMD's Ryzen 7 5000-series CPUs in many workloads.

The TDP (Thermal Design Power) of the Core i7-11700 is rated at 65W, making it relatively efficient for a high-end CPU. However, under sustained heavy loads, especially in systems with aggressive power limits or PL1/PL2 settings, actual power consumption can be much higher—so a decent cooling solution is recommended for consistent performance.

For integrated graphics, the i7-11700 is equipped with Intel UHD Graphics 750, based on the Xe architecture. It supports up to 4K resolution at 60Hz, HEVC/VP9 decode/encode, and can handle light gaming or display output without the need for a discrete GPU. Still, for users focused on gaming or GPU-accelerated workloads, pairing this processor with a dedicated graphics card is highly recommended.
