Given laptops are under test, we were off to the races right away with web browser benchmarks using Clear Linux's Firefox. With the Basemark test, we see right away the impact of finally transitioning to a new microarchitecture... Going from Kabylake-R to Whiskey Lake was just under a 5% gain for this browser benchmark while the Ice Lake Core i7 provided a 32% uplift.

Besides 32% better raw performance for Basemark, the performance-per-Watt with the Dell XPS 7390 / Ice Lake was 29% higher. The overall AC power consumption between the notebooks averaged out to 21.7 Watts with the Ice Lake laptop, 21.3 on the Whiskey Lake XPS, and 23.9 for the Kabylake-R model.

The MotionMark browser benchmark saw 20% higher performance going from Whiskey Lake to Ice Lake with these Dell XPS notebooks while the performance-per-Watt was 12% better.

The power consumption was comparable between the laptops while the Ice Lake laptop did operate a few degrees cooler than the two earlier models.

In other browser benchmarks under Firefox, the Ice Lake laptop continued to show significant improvements in performance.

In most cases the AC power draw was comparable between the three Dell XPS notebooks while in many cases the CPU and system temperatures were much lower with 10nm+ Ice Lake.

Across all of our scripted web browser benchmarks, the i7-1065G7 delivered very healthy improvements in performance and power efficiency compared to the earlier Whiskey Lake and Kabylake-R XPS models.
