Overclocked 11900k vs 10900k gaming results

Core, cache and mem were all oc’d. You can see the mem timings used and the test suite used: tm5/extreme, occt large/avx2.

This is more or less what can be expected when maxing out each platform for a daily system.

Buildzoid approved!

Strange that he uses the old BIOS for the older chip, even though its the same motherboard.
All profiles have hyperthreading disabled, interesting choice, they gimped the chip in general usage in order to eek out 100-200mhz more clock speed for the games test.
I doubt anyone would run their games machine like this for any length of time, but it does make the comparison more interesting.
I bet Ryan Shrout will be using this games testing process for his future slides.
Energy consumption is absolutely bloody awful for a machine with HT disabled.

The 11 series looks bloody awful even with hyperspeed memory and tight timings :/

If you’re going to max out mem, you generally need to play with different bios and the find the one that works best for your kit. Wish this wasn’t the case but for pushing the limits, it is.

If gaming is your main use case, HT off is the way to go. There’s more cache available per core which helps, lower thermals and power draw allow a higher frequency which again helps more than HT. You get the occasional exception to the rule but nowhere near the norm, esp for the 10core.

I should note that we tested against my 9900k in a few benches as well. My 9900k won. 52 core, 48 uncore. 16-16-16/4400 SR mem.

so Intel can’t even beat their own 2 gen old platform. For gaming, rkl is an absolute failure.
