Nothing extraordinary, better than Skylake, not quite as fast as Zen3.
Yes its not exactly moved things on from 5800x.... single thread a bit better, all down to 14nm limits? Bit disappointing from Intel really.
It really doesn't seem to help much. Some results of the 11900K at 5.2GHz have also been posted, which will be pulling way more than 165W, and it's still struggling up against the 5800X with just PBO enabled.
I see. At 5.2 my 10850k pulls 225W in Cinebench so assume around the same for 11900k?It really doesn't seem to help much. Some results of the 11900K at 5.2GHz have also been posted, which will be pulling way more than 165W, and it's still struggling up against the 5800X with just PBO enabled.
Plus there's the fact that almost all Z490 boards completely ignore Intel's power limits and Tau spec anyway, and just let the CPUs draw as much power as they want and boost as much as they want indefinitely. The stated TDP is pretty meaningless at this point.

These results appear to be inline with earlier leaks - nothing special. Sure we'll wait for benchmarks of the retail chips but overall the highest tier 11900K, only appears to match the mid-tier AMD mainstream CPU in games, whilst bettering them in select ahem synthetic benchmarks.
AMD still appears the choice for the best performance overall. Any apps that scale past 6 cores won't stop at eight, so workstation performance won't better zen 3.
Overall, despite some Intel fan's hysteria, Zen 3 is still looking like the best performing CPUs you can get. Intel will have to price their CPUs competitively.
Oh well there is always Alder Lake, only months away
It’s exciting isn’t it. I read somewhere it is potentially $350 dollar SKU which would be a nice bit of price reduction from 5800X. I like the ideal of an iGPU in case something goes wrong with your GPU while waiting for RMA, you don’t end up with a headless computer.
