Intel Beats AMD In Single-Core PerformanceÂ
On paper, the AMD Ryzen 9 lineup beats the Intel Comet Lake (10th gen) lineup. However, in this recent Geekbench 5 leak, we see that the Intel Core i7-11700K has a single-core score of 1,807 and a multi-core score of 10,673.
According to a recent test from Tom’s Hardware, the Ryzen 9 5950X has a score of 1,713 points in Geekbench 5 which makes Intel’s Rocket Lake chip slightly ahead by almost 100 points.
Additionally, another leak spotted by HotHardware shows Geekbench 5 results of the upcoming AMD Ryzen 5000H Series processors for laptops.Â
The test showed a single-core and multi-core score of 1,547 and 9,069 points respectively in which the Intel Core i7-11700K remained to be superior in both scores. Â
What to Expect From The Rocket Lake Lineup
However, when it comes to multi-threaded loads, the AMD 5950X still dominates in that category with a score of 14,471 points for their 16-core processor as opposed to the leaked benchmark of 10,673 points for the i7-11700K packing 8-cores and 16 threads.
The leaked Intel processor is also said to have a base frequency of 3.6 GHz which can be boosted up to 4.8 GHz. In terms of power consumption, it will have a 125 PL1 profile and 250W PL2 rating.
Intel’s new set of processors is expected to release this January 2021. The Rocket Lake-S will be the first from Intel to bring PCI Express 4.0 support to the desktop which can increase your upgrade options.
