DON’T let these ‘single-core’ benchmarks mislead you! No body really cares about single core scores! I mean it’s 2021 … and multi-core is the only way forward. Why? You need multi-core for content creation of course, things like rendering on Adobe premier and Photoshop, and multiple applications running concurrently for Live streaming, Game streaming, etc.
Taken from Notebookcheck … The upcoming Intel Core i9-11900K managed to best the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X on Geekbench’s single-core benchmark. The 14nm Rocket Lake processor managed to net single-core scores of 1,905, 1,902 and 1,895. Its clock speed hovered around 5.3GHz at all times.
Some leaked Intel Core i9-11900K specifications earlier shed some light on its base and boost clocks. Its subsequent PassMark showing was quite impressive, too. A new set of Intel Core i9-11900K Geekbench listings tell us that the Rocket Lake chip is quite capable of taking on AMD’s high-end Zen 3 offerings, at least in the single-core department.
Videocardz stumbled upon three separate instances of the Intel Core i9-11900K on Geekbench. The testbench was a Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Master motherboard and 32GB of DDR4 RAM clocked at 3,200MHz. Its average multi-core scores hovered around 10,000, which is expected from an eight-core processor. However, the Intel Core i9-11900K managed to breach the 1,900 barrier two times with single-core scores of 1,905 and 1,902. Its third showing was no slouch either, with a respectable single-core score of 1,895. To put things in perspective, the average AMD Ryzen 9 5950X single-core score on Geekbench is 1,686, although it has gone above 1,800 in several instances.
