There's another pre-review of the Intel i7-11700K by HardwareLuxx and the results are better than the ones from Anandtech:

Videocardz has a summary focusing only on the gaming results and it shows that it's on par with Intel's 10th gen. They used an ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Hero motherboard wuth the 0402 BIOS and then they re-tested it with the newer 0603 BIOS, that shows improved performance compared to the older one.
So yeah, maybe the bad results from Anandtech are, in part, because of an unfinished BIOS.
Please excuse my bad English.
