Intel Core i7-11700K beats Ryzen 9 5950X by 8% in Geekbench 5 single-core benchmark

I was going to buy a 5900X, on release, though couldn't find any in stock. Also wanted the Dark Hero motherboard (passive chipset, I hate small fan noise) but these are unobtainable also.

Looks like this has worked out great for me, as Rocketlake will restore Intel's gaming performance crown, which is the most important metric for me personally. I also favour stability, it's been quite surprising seeing so many memory/motherboard/BIOS issues with the 5000 series on this forum and others, by now the AM4 platform should be Intel levels of stable surely...

Happy that Rocket Lake has been pushed forward, hopefully Intel will flex their 16 fab strong manufacturing might to produce millions of 11th gen CPU's, they can probably produce more in a day than AMD can in a month, due to being contractually obligated to produce millions of PS5/XboxX/S chips with their wafer allocation from TSMC.

Big upgrade to my 6700k inc!

People here don't want to hear that.
This is like a forum run by the AMD union or mafia.
If you talk up the opposition, expect to find a horse's head in your bed or your dog stapled to the garage door.

Straw drowning man - Intel is so desperate that should advertise any marginal improvement - even if it's blind that the multi-threading performance (going backwards and down from 10 cores to only 8) is still meh and the power consumption is horrible - not to mention the prices.

I suspect a few of them have requested it gets deleted already, quite a sad state off affairs.

The quieter majority will just buy the fastest gaming CPU when it's available, which will be Rocket Lake Can't play Cinebench as a game, and the vast majority have no use for multi-thread performance beyond 8 cores.

The majority doesn't care about gaming - that's why you will see 80-85% sales share for AMD Ryzen.

Can’t play cinebench as a game yet is quoting geek bench data as a performance metric .

Have we not already had a bait thread like this?

Maybe some people feel like they've been done over for years of Intel releasing new platforms every year? And after all the BS that Intel gave us, you look at them as a second jesus. Good for you man, i had intel, and now i'm waiting to get a new 5xxx ryzen, so i could slot in my B450, to be precise, i could put 2xxx, or 3xxx, or 4xxx series cpu in it. Please show me a socket from intel that was good for so many years, all you needed to do is change the cpu. For so many years you can say that this forum was Intel biased. Times has changed and if intel will be at the top once more, same will happen again. For now AMD is better, hands down.

Other single threaded benchmarks will also show the big improvement in single thread performance, what is your point? Obviously this is just one benchmark from a leak.

AMD literally cannot produce enough CPU's to take a 10% share of the overall CPU market. They have no fabs, so have to ask TSMC to make their CPU's for them. TSMC are in demand by everyone, so the amount of wafers AMD get is relatively small.

I think your confusing those mindfactory sales graphs with the overall world sales? Mindfactory are just one enthusiast style retailer in Germany, their sales don't reflect the entire world of consumer, business, server, datacentre, embedded and all the other segments. Intel still sells millions more CPU's than AMD buddy.

also owner of the 6700k since release, Looking for 8 core I just game and 5800x isnt priced well hope we start seeing some good 8 core options

Unless you're gaming at 1080p high FPS, it means absolutely nothing - buy whatever is in stock.

The point is it’s speculation not yet proven. It’s on 14nm so will be power hungry and hot and still has limitations compared to Amd.

Amd already have their CPUs out, they have numerous people who are able to upgrade from the 2nd or 3rd generation chips and when all said and done they will drop the price of the 5000 series to combat Intel. Those that purchase Ryazan can have nearly all the single threaded performance and considerably higher multithreaded performance, without needing expensive cooling on top.

Sorry but I not seeing what is so appealing with the new Intel chips, they stink of desperation from Intel.

 

[Minstadave]

More 14nm CPUs? Has this horse not been flogged enough yet? Wheres the other half of the CPU Intel?

Well it’s a new marketing scheme. Buy half the cores of an Amd cpu for a full Intel price. A couple of % of single core performance increase at 1080p and 60% multi threaded decrease. Sounds like a no brainier to all Intel fanboys.

 

[vapor matt]

As more games will use more cores in the future its still not looking bright for intel. single core scores will be a thing of the past unless you play old games. One thing it does have is an easy setup plus the intel plug and play advantage. 5000 series can be a bios, settings nightmare. this is where intel score as business based purchase will not want to be messing in the bios of every machine.
but i like my first AMD 5950x and it works good for me. Its a shame AMD didnt have all the chipset support in place before release of the 5000 series. after all they should be plug and play after a bios update, not 6 beta bios's later still no final bios in most board makers.

Weren't Intel just telling us benchmarks are irrelevant nowadays and we should go with how their tech makes us feel? That'll be short changed and hot then!

I really don't get some of you people. I remember all the thread discussions before Ryzen/Threadripper how "we need competition" "competition is good for the market" then I've read for so long here "Intel stinks" "Intel sucks" and the likes... What is this?

Yep Ryan Shrout is frantically working his backside off as we speak.

Intel does suck and has for a while now. Forced motherboard upgrades, high power draw and a decade of 4 core stagnation.

Competition is good we now have it.

Is it? You'd think it would be a different attitude. Sometimes you wouldn't think it reading some of the members on site articles with so many saying Intel needs to die.
