Intel’s upcoming Rocket Lake-S CPUs have a lot riding on them because they will be going on pre-order sales without having any kind of official performance review. But for those who want to place their orders have to place their hopes on the leaked and rumored benchmark details. So any leaked benchmark details which we can find are all the help which we can get.
Recently, the upcoming Intel Core i7-11700K has appeared with its benchmark results and has obliterated everything in its way to take control of the 1-core, 2-core, 4-core, 8-core, and average benchmark percentage charts.
Not being the most powerful CPU in the segment, the i7-11700K blows away rivals such as the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X and the Ryzen 9 5950X, by quite a margin, especially in the single-core test. The UserBenchmark results for the 8-core, 16-thread Intel Core i7-11700K are currently based on four samples. The blue team is working hard to make its processors stand-out in the single-core performance.
The following table of average scores gives a snapshot of the apparent magnificence of the Rocket Lake-S part:
| Intel Core i7-11700K | AMD Ryzen 9 5900X | AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | |
| 1-core | 182 points | 159 points | 159 points |
| 2-core | 364 points | 317 points | 314 points |
| 4-core | 707 points | 605 points | 605 points |
| 8-core | 1,240 points | 1,176 points | 1,190 points |
| Benchmark % | 113% | 101% | 101% |
Here are some additional with adding some heavy points to the table:
| Intel Core i7-11700K | AMD Ryzen 9 5900X | AMD Ryzen 9 5950X | |
| Normal | 213 points | 188 points | 187 points |
| Heavy | 973 points | 890 points | 898 points |
| Server | 1,651 points | 2,348 points | 2,920 points |
| Total | 2,837 points | 3,426 points | 4,005 points |
One thing to remember is that UserBenchmark heavily favors fewer-core workloads, which in turn will generally favor Intel parts that often outpace their AMD rivals in single-core benchmarks. The i7-11700K has +11.88% gains over the best that Ryzen 5000 has to offer in average benchmark percentage and +16.86% ahead in 4-core testing.
Overall, it seems that Intel’s upcoming Rocket Lake-S CPUs will be one of the best things to come out of Intel.
