Intel is all set to announce its upcoming 11th Gen Rocket Lake CPUs this year and the multiple leaks of these processors have confirmed as well. The performance improvement seems fair enough but this time Intel is limiting to 8 core, 16 threads only but bringing some key changes like Xe graphics, PCIe Gen 4 and others.
It’s only been a month or so, AMD had been crowned the single-core champion and in a few days, Intel is ready to snatch it back from AMD. In the recent CPU-Z benchmark, we see the upcoming 8-core flagship CPU scoring 695.4 points in the single-core tests and 6522.1 points in multi-threaded tests.
This kind of single-core score is the highest recorded to date and if that’s compared with the AMD flagship – the Ryzen 9 5950X, it is said to have recorded 658 points and another showing 677 points as pointed by Notebookcheck which makes the Intel counterpart 5.68% and 2.72% faster.
It won’t be a fair deal comparing the Ryzen 9 5950X’s multi-core performance with this as it’s evident from the scores that even the Core i9-11900K’s closest competitor in pricing, Ryzen 9 5900X has the better multi-core performance. So, it’s safe to say, Intel will snatch back its gaming crown again but AMD will be a choice to many with its wide range of options and pricing.
