How much performance does Intel's 11th generation Core processor 'Rocket Lake-S' compare to 10th generation and Ryzen 9?



Intel's

11th generation Core processor 'Rocket Lake-S' was released on March 30, 2021 (Tuesday). The CPU architecture of Rocket Lake-S adopts 'Cypress Cove' instead of 'Skylake' used in the 6th to 10th generation Core processors. The graphics performance has also been greatly enhanced.

Reviews and benchmark results are released one after another on IT news sites, and the position when compared with the 10th generation Core processor `` Comet Lake-S'' and rival AMD `` Ryzen 9'' etc. is clarified. ..

News site Ars Technica said, 'The 11th generation Rocket Lake-S gaming CPU didn't impress us.' 'It doesn't look like an attractive alternation of generations.' I will.

Ars Technica is the top model of Rocket Lake-S 'Core i9-11900K', the previous generation 10th generation Core processor (Comet Lake-S) 'Core i9-10900K', AMD 'Ryzen' When Cinebench 's CPU benchmark (multi-thread) was performed on '9 5950 X' and 'Ryzen 9 5900 X', not only the Ryzen 9 group was ranked high, but the Core i9-10900K one generation ago exceeded the Core i9-11900K. I did. This is because the Core i9-10900K has two more cores, and similar results were obtained with CPU benchmarks using the PassMark Performance Test and Geekbench 5. 'It's no surprise,' Ars Technica wrote about this. In the single-threaded benchmark, the Core i9-11900K scored the best of the four, but 'don't worry too much, as there are few pure single-threaded workloads in the real world,' Ars Technica commented. doing.

Core i9-11900K 5947 26835 10469


In the CPU benchmark of 3DMark 's 'Time Spy benchmark' that can measure gaming performance, 4 CPUs were competitive numbers. However, in 'Time Spy Extreme' which utilizes an advanced library optimized for more CPU, Core i9-10900K exceeds Core i9 11900K again.

In the power consumption measurement using Cinebench R20, Ryzen 9 5950X was 204W, while Core i9-11900K was 278W, which was a little bad result. However, the Core i9-10900K has a higher power consumption of 336W.

From these results, Ars Technica has good points about the 11th generation Core processor, such as 'lower power consumption than the 10th generation Core processor' and 'improved integrated graphics performance compared to the 10th generation Intel Core processor'. However, as a bad point, 'multi-thread performance is low compared to 10th generation Core processor, significantly lower than Ryzen 9' 'power consumption is higher than Ryzen 9', 'Rocket Lake -S seems to be retreating from generation to generation rather than improvement. '' AMD processors are about the same price, achieving high performance and low power consumption, 'he rigorously summarizes.

As a result of conducting multiple benchmarks in the same way, IT news site AnandTech said, 'Although power consumption is sacrificed, there are performance improvements in some fields, and Intel's acceleration solution' AVX-512 ' Will be provided to the consumer market. ' However, since AVX-512 is not enabled in the usage environment of many people, 'older processors and competing products will improve performance,' he still makes a strict comment.

In addition, the news site PCGamer roughly mentioned 'performance equivalent to Core i9-10900K after unlocking' and 'game FPS slightly faster than AMD' as good points, and 'performance of PCIe 4.0'. 'Low', 'Core i9 performance is poor', and 'Unnecessarily high' are listed as bad points.
