The key time and day is approaching and the leaks continue to do their job. On this occasion, the latest from Intel is going to make things very difficult for AMD, all despite the fact that they continue with the 14 nm ++ lithographic process and despite the fact that the architecture, now, is a leap forward compared to Skylake. The new i9-11900K faces the Ryzen 7 5800X on Geekbench, two CPUs with the same cores and threads, where the former manages to surprise.
It may seem that Intel is facing a bad time, but from a financial point of view they are obtaining record revenues, they have clawed back share of AMD and now they are going to regain the throne of the gaming segment with their Rocket Lake-S processors. Many have called these CPUs unattractive when compared to the Ryzen 5000, but as it leaks, the battle may be turning to the blue side.
Intel i9-11900K resumes performance path and sets new Geekbench record
A sleeping giant is doubly dangerous when in the middle of a dream it is attacked and awakened. Even with the aforementioned 14 nm ++ ballast, the i9-11900K is demonstrating how Intel can make processors that measure up to its rival.
Not surprisingly, both the LGA 1200 socket of the blues and the AM4 of the reds are going to say goodbye to make way for the LGA 1700 and AM5, with completely renewed processors and much more advanced architectures, so this generation is the previous step. which can blow up the market as there will be no more updates for the former.
For this reason, starting sales from the rival is key and Intel seems to have understood it and has taken it very seriously. The i9-11900K has been seen again on Geekbench and has now broken the single-core scoring record again, after two weeks from its previous registration. We are talking about a CPU with 8 cores and 16 threads with a base frequency of 3.5 GHz and a Boost of 4.8 GHz for all its cores or 5.3 GHz for just one of them.
Geekbench 4 and Geekbench 5 agree Intel improves on IPC and multicore
Although the tests do not dictate the performance in IPC but in single-core, it must be recognized that Intel's performance escalation has been worthy of the best of AMD, and it was about time. The scores in Geekbench 4 and Geekbench 5 attest to this with 8193 points in GB4 SC and 42250 points in MC and 1920 points and 10,955 points in GB5 in SC and MC respectively.
For comparison with its direct rival in cores and threads, the Ryzen 7 5800X achieves 7333 points and 44131 points in GB4 and 1665 points and 11354 points in GB5. This leaves us + 4.45% in MC for Geekbench 4 in favor of the AMD processor, but + 11.73% in SC for the Intel CPU, while in GB5 the differences increase.
The Intel processor achieves + 15% in SC and only -4% in Multi-Core, which indicates that they are practically even in parallelizable tasks, while Intel is far ahead of AMD at a single thread. It remains to be seen of course what is the real difference in IPC equating the frequencies of both processors, but without a doubt, the blue ones have taken a huge step forward with Rocket Lake-S and if the data is confirmed in other scenarios, it could be said that Intel is back ahead of AMD in general terms of performance.
