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

https://videocardz.com/newz/intel-core-i9-11900k-rocket-lake-s-breaks-cpu-z-barrier-of-700-points-with-all-cores-at-5-2-ghz

Now the key thing to remember is that because it's a OC score, you can OC the 5000 series and get pretty close. Still, quite hard to deny the gen on gen improvements as the 10700K on single core is able to hit 571 when OC to 5.2Ghz.

Alder Lake and Zen 4 gonna be one interesting fight.

I wonder why they call 5.2Ghz allcore a stock setting. Unless all motherboards auto-overclock and totally dismiss PL1 to run at 250W all the time, the chip won't run at that clock speed without overclocking.

Also, the fact that the 11700K leads in singlecore vs the 5800X but loses in multicore probably means that Rocket Lake can't hold it's clock speed all too well under extended periods of load.

Idk, either shitty journalism or shitty marketing loll.

Also in other news, we get to take a look at Intel's new 500 series chipset... And...

Pretty meh tbh.

The problem with this chipset which will also be in their Z series boards is the fact that you have PCI-E 3.0 going through the chipset in 2021...

So as a summary assuming nothing changes.

Intel 500 series: PCI-E 4.0 x16 for GPU. PCI-E 4.0 X4 for first Nvme. PCI-E 3.0 for the rest.

Vs

AMD X570: PCI-E 4.0 X16 for GPU. PCI-E 4.0 X4 for first Nvme. PCI-E 4.0 for the rest.

There is some level of nonsense when a Flagship Intel platform in 2021 can't match AMD's Flagship from 2019 in terms of features. But hey, least there's a new logo!
