Intel s Core i9-11900K Rocket Lake processor has made its first appearance within the Passmark CPU benchmark database and scored the highest single-threaded performance of all desktop processors. The chip features a brand new core architecture and comes with clock frequencies over the 5 GHz barrier that allows it to post some huge gains over its predecessor.
Intel Core i9-11900K Rocket Lake Flagship Desktop CPU Scores The Fastest Single-Threaded Performance in Passmark, Up To 7% Faster Than The AMD Ryzen 5000 Zen 3 Chips
The Intel Core i9-11900K with its multiple Cypress Cove core will bring the biggest CPU architectural upgrade in over 5 years. This is because ever since the 6th Generation Skylake CPUs, all Intel CPUs up till the 10th Generation Comet Lake CPUs have used the same identical chip architecture based on the 14nm process node. There have been small refinements to the process node over the years but nothing as significant as what Intel is
