Intel is on the verge of launching its 11th Gen Rocket Lake CPUs, meanwhile, we have a bunch of leaks showing its performance gains over last-gen. Also, showing how it holds up against the revolutionary AMD Ryzen 5000 series processors.
Already the upoming flagship Core i9-11900K was spotted earlier with a mind-blowing single-core result and an impressive multi-core result as well. As we know this 8 core, 16 threaded CPU has a max all core boost of 4.8GHz and 3.5GHz base clock speeds.
So, when overclocked, the chip went up to 5.2GHz on all cores and that’s really impressive, especially on a 14nm node. However, this comes at a cost of higher TDP, most probably pushing to its highest PL2 limit at 250W.
We saw previously that at stock, the Core i9-11900K had very little difference with its closest competitor Ryzen 7 5800X. In CPU-Z benchmark, the Intel CPU scored 695.4 points, way ahead to Ryzen’s 663 points.
Whereas in multi-core, the Intel upcoming flagship still lagging behind AMD with 6522.1 points to Ryzen 7 5800X’s 6766 points. Now, when overclocked at 5.2GHz all core, the single-core score goes up to 706.3 points whereas the multi-threaded score going up to 7199 points.
However, do note that this kind of overclocking is indeed very unstable, so I guess, if all 8 cores are overclocked to 5GHz, that should comfortably beat AMD Ryzen 7 5800X. The popularity of the CPU will indeed depend on the pricing of the Core i9-11900K, rumored to be $450.
