Interesting, over in the land down under, no I mean a little higher up there, Asia, some new numbers have surfaced. This round it is the pending new Rocket Lake flagship 8-core part, the Core i9-11900K, specifically with CPU-Z benchmark numbers. That (CPU-Z scores) makes it more interesting as such numbers can easily be compared with our own test suite. The Cypress Cove core architecture seems to produce substantial numbers, and if we can believe the leaked score, we do not know if the CPU was tweaked or had BIOS optimizations activated). The results show the Core i9-11900K reach 695 points in the single-threaded CPU-Z benchmark, which is roughly 20% faster than Core i9-10900K; the multi-threaded benchmark shows a score of 6522 points, which is underwhelming compared to 10900K. But then again, that one has 10 cores. Videocardz spotted the leak. If the results are baseline (default settings), then the single-core turbo is impressive. However, it will be interesting to see how long that single bin core can run in seconds as really, for a score like that, a high frequency is needed, and this proc is still at an energy-hungry 14nm. We raise the question as the multi-core perf seems far more normalized, in fact, even in line with
