Intel’s Rocket Lake-S desktop CPUs will be launching in the coming months, and we have spotted a lot of them until now. These 11th Gen processors will come with a new Cypress Cove architecture and some IPC gains to help Intel get back its single-core dominance.
The new CPUs spotted are Core i9-11900T and Core i7-11700, both are 8 core processors and featuring new Intel UHD Graphics 750. Interestingly, the Core i9-11900T comes with lower clock speeds than the Core i7-11700, so there’s a natural performance difference.
The ‘T-Series’ of Intel chips are power limited to 35W, so they are mostly seen on embedded systems or mini-PCs. However, here we see the Core i9-11900T with a timid base clock speed of 1.5 GHz and a boost of 4.89 GHz, resulting in a handsome score of 1717 in single-core and 8349 in multi-core.
When compared with the Core i9-11900K, the lower TDP variant has 400 MHz lower boost frequencies and lower scores as well. For graphics, there’s the Intel UHD Graphics 750, which scores 7761 points in OpenCL benchmarks.
The regular Core i7-11700, on the other hand, with 65W TDP, has a good performance with 2.5 GHz base and 4.88 GHz boost frequencies. On Geekbench 5, the non-K variant of the i7-11700 manages to put up a good score of 1718 in single-core and 9942 in multi-core.
Even though both of these CPUs have defeated the new AMD Ryzen 5000 series in single-core, however, still cannot beat the Ryzen 7 5800X in multi-core benchmarks.
