We know Intel will be snatching back its gaming crown soon from AMD with its Rocket Lake desktop CPUs and we already have got a lot of benchmarks until now proving that. In both Geekbench and PassMark, the upcoming 8-core flagship Core i9-11900K has managed to blow away the new [AMD Ryzen 5000 series](https://technosports.co.in/2020/10/08/amds-new-amd-ryzen-5000-series-desktop-processors-deliver-26-better-gaming-performance/)in single-core.

This time again the CPU has created a new record and has become the first CPU to hit 1.9K points in single-core. The 8 core, 16 threaded CPU has a max all-core boost of 4.8GHz and 3.5GHz base clock speeds whereas the single-core boost goes up to a whopping 5.3GHz.

It was already spotted on [Cinebench](https://technosports.co.in/2021/01/06/intel-core-i9-11900k-spotted-on-both-cinebench-r15-and-r20/),[ CPU-Z](https://technosports.co.in/2021/01/02/an-overclocked-intel-core-i9-11900k-breaks-all-records-defeats-ryzen-7-5800x/), [Ashes of Singularity](https://technosports.co.in/2020/12/17/intel-core-i9-11900k-appeared-on-ashes-of-singularity-yet-again-this-time-beating-amds-ryzen-9-5950x/), [PassMark](https://technosports.co.in/2021/02/01/both-intel-core-i9-11900k-and-core-i7-11700k-tops-the-passmark-single-threaded-performance/) benchmarks and when spotted previously on[Geekbench](https://technosports.co.in/2021/01/22/first-legit-intel-core-i9-11900k-geekbench-result-spotted-blows-away-in-single-core/), it scored 1892 points in single-core and a pretty impressive 10934 points in multi-core.

Now, in the overclocked state the CPU posts an impressive 1905 points in single-core whereas in multi-core it scores 10994 points. The Core i9-11900K just manages to beat the [AMD Ryzen 7 5800X](https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/amd-ryzen-7-5800x) by a narrow margin which scores 10427 points.

The CPU is even 12-13% faster than the AMD flagship Ryzen 5950X in the single-core benchmark. On the other hand, the 16-core Ryzen CPU is still 47-53% faster in multi-core tests. Overall, the upcoming Intel flagship looks crazy on paper while the single-core results are just mind-blowing!
