I bought a "Dell Inspirion 5000" notebook with an "11th Generation Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-1165G7" processor, it should have 4.7 GHz. This is also what it says in the order form. But when I go to the system information it says it is a Dell Inspirion 5502 with 2.8 GHz (the sticker on the notebook also says Inspirion 5000). So not what was ordered.
Am I missing something or was it wrongly delivered?
Use CPU-Z and read out the characteristics
You have to understand correctly what 2.8-4.7 Ghz means.
the 4.7 Ghz are only achieved briefly and only on a few cores. Never on any core.
For tasks that only load 1 core, you will be able to see over 4Ghz, but if you load other cores in parallel, then not.
The "turbo clock" is often given, i.e. The clock frequency that the processor achieves during brief self-overclocking. But it does not have this standard and not permanently.
2.8 GHz are correct: https://ark.intel.com/...0-ghz.html
Max. Turbo clock frequency 4.70 GHz
Configurable TDP-up frequency 2.80 GHz
This is the speed when the processor needs to speed up:
Some PC manufacturers specify the so-called "boost clock". This can be much higher than the standard clock rate of your processor.
OK thanks and what's up with the wrong names?
I'm too stupid for that… I downloaded it but only open Jannes if I have any file so it only opens Explorer
Often only one series is given. The 5502 is a model of the 5000 series. This is quite common, if not very precise. Since these are only OEM model names anyway, it doesn't matter as long as the built-in hardware is correct.
Many Thanks
Use this https://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html and then select "Setup english"
Apart from that, the boost clock is likely to be advertised
The normal clock is only 2.8GHz, you can read https://www.intel.de/content/www/de/de/products/processors/core/i7-processors/i7-1165g7.html
