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

Not bad Dave, not bad. But you'll need better to beat the 5950X with PBO.

Stock for the 5950X appears to be around 662 for ST CPU-Z, yours must be overclocked.

If the 11900K is getting 695 at stock, it should be able to get much more than 662 when overclocked and given tuned fast memory etc. We'll see!

5950X for £850 is also going to be much more expensive than the I9 I assume.

I've not manually overclocked it, just enabled PBO and tuned it using curve optimizer which undervolts it allowing higher single core and all core boost frequencies.

I'd be surprised if these new Intel CPUs can beat a turned 3rd gen Ryzen to be honest, but we'll see.

I've actually scored higher CPU-Z score than that but just finished a long benching session.

PBO overclock seems mighty impressive!

Really excited to see overclocked comparisons in games.

How many years behind are they on this now?
Like said up-thread, this has got so bad we now have major investors (hedge fund with $1b in stock) calling for the company to split because it's so far behind.

10nm was due to launch in 2017 originally.

Intel won't split - their revenues have been increasing year on year, as AMD lack the manufacturing to make enough Ryzen CPU's to take any significant business revenue away from Intel.

I doubt AMD will ever regain the position they have currently... In a few months, Rocket Lake will restore the gaming performance crown. A few months after that, we'll have Alder Lake that will likely take the multi-thread performance crown from AMD also.

Remember that Jim Keller left AMD, Zen3 was the last design he worked on. Probably the bulldozer team that's developing the AM5 platform.

people do care, I care - Nvidia is forcing me to look into custom water loop because the heat is too much

Still going to be the same amount of heat output with water buddy.. Water will just remove the heat from the GPU faster than air. The room you're in will still heat up by the same amount.

More good news!

Intel Core i9-11900K “Rocket Lake-S” breaks CPU-Z barrier of 700 points with all cores at 5.2 GHz

Intel Core i9-11900K overclocked to 5.2 GHz
According to a new leak from Chiphell, Intel’s upcoming flagship, the Core i9-11900K was able to break the 706 points barrier in the single-thread CPU-Z benchmark when all cores were set to 5.2 GHz. This means that CPU has a slightly higher result (1.6%) from yesterday’s 695 points but also a much higher multi-threaded score of 7198, which is 10% higher than yesterday’s 6522 points.

Assuming these are the same price as the current 10900k, £450-470, these will be great value for the best gaming CPU, compared to the almost £900 5950X.

Excited to see what ST scores this will see with both an overclock and tuned/optimized memory.

1st gen 1950x - 3440x1440 with rad 7 and everything turned to full I average more than 120fps on PUBG and am always in the game before my mate on 6th gen intel. Perhaps this used to be a thing but as far as I can tell there are no 'issues' with pubg on ryzen. Mind you I questioned this same rationality years ago and posted up my figures on this same comment back then.

Averaged over the last 100 hours of gameplay my average fps is 120.2 fps.

Game loading speed is also dependant on your storage device, number of other applications running that are also using the same storage device and to some degree, OS settings/optimisation.

For example, my 6700k (to be replaced with a 11900k in March) system could perhaps load Cyberpunk faster than a 5950X system could. IF the 5950x system is using a terrible SSD, bogged down OS and loads of other programs.

 

[Dave2150]

same here had the 6700k for 5 years wanting to upgrade, lets hope the pricing is good but I very much doubt it

It think has to be. Intel need a win. Though the global shipping situation could mean some delays, though I'm confident Intel will have much more stock than Ryzen 5000 had at launch.

Not bad Dave, not bad. But you'll need better to beat the 5950X with PBO.

Sorry for necro, but had to get back to @LtMatt

Still playing with my 11900k (fun chip to OC) - currently on a NH-D15 while I build a custom loop. Settled on a conservative +1bin above the stock Intel TVB, so +100Mhz in each scenario. This keeps temperatures completely under control, even on air, though my CPU is above average quality, and has lower than usual voltage reference points for each core.

This means first two cores running at 5.4Ghz in lightly threaded applications.

Anyhow, delivered a better score than your 5950X with PBO for single thread. Obviously you smoke this in multi-thread

 

[Dave2150]

Managed this, 718.9.

5950X with PBO enabled and curve optimizer set.



I am sure I can reach closer to 720 if i do a cold run.

Nice I'll do some more testing over the weekend.

What memory are you running? The 3800 C14 kit in your sig?
