The Core i9-11900K has come to light with some new benchmarks that appear to be a leak of some official Intel slides. In them, you can clearly see the evolution of the Core i9-11900K processors in video games.
Core i9-11900K is 11% faster than Core i9-10900K in gaming
The slides appear to be official from Intel, weeks away from the official launch of the Rocket Lake-S series later this month.
The Core i9-11900K processor has 8 cores and 16 threads under the 'Rocket Lake-S' architecture, as opposed to the 10-core, 20-thread Core i9-10900K from 'Comet Lake-S'. The boost clock speed is, in both cases, 5.3 GHz. The rest of the specifications indicate about 16 MB of L3 cache (2 MB per core) and 4 MB of L2 cache (512 KB per core).
For the tests, the video games Total War: Three Kingdoms, Gears 5, Grid 2019, and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 were used. All games were tested at 1080p with graphics set to 'high'.
The most noticeable difference in performance showed a 14% increase in favor of the i9-11900K, but on average, the difference in games is 11%. The difference does not seem to be very decisive, although it must be taken into account that the 11900K has two cores less than the 10900K. However, consumption increases with the Rocket Lake-S generation.
One of the details that are giving the most to talk about the i9-11900K is the PL2 power amp. The CPU has a PL1 power limit of 125, which is the Intel standard, but the PL2 power limit is set at 250W. This means that the processor can draw up to 250W at the advertised maximum clock speeds. The Intel Core i7-11700K with 8 cores and 16 threads is also going to have a high PL2 power limit between 225 and 250W.
Intel Rocket Lake processors are due to launch on March 30, although pre-orders will open on March 16. We will keep you informed.
