8-core Intel Core i9-11900K beats 12-core AMD Ryzen 9 5900X in seven games, including Cyberpunk 2077

Intel at CES 2021 not only unveiled the flagship Tiger Lake-H35 processors for gaming laptops, but also talked about the Core i9-11900K gaming processor. The company compared the performance of its 8-core flagship to the 12-core AMD Ryzen 9 5900X. And in all the apps selected for comparison, the Ryzen 9 5900X fell short.

Actually, the games and test results in each are presented on the graph. Core i9-11900K is 2-8% faster, and 4.4% faster on average. The advantage is small, so in this case for the user himself everything will come down to other factors: price and energy consumption. Now the Ryzen 9 5900X costs the same as the Core i9-10900K, but if by the time of the start of sales (tentatively, in March) the Core i9-11900K turns out to be more expensive than the Core i9-10900K, and the Ryzen 9 5900X even becomes a little cheaper, then the choice will be obvious. In addition, with the power consumption of the AMD processor, everything is much better.

At the same time, Intel compared the Core i9-11900K and the Core i9-10900K in the Hitman 3 game. The first system showed 129 FPS, the second – 140 FPS. The advantage of the promising flagship in this case is 7%. And it is unlikely that it will convince the owner of the Core i9-10900K or Core i9-9900K to switch to a new CPU. However, there is still one important advantage in Rocket Lake-S – 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes, which is important for interaction with video cards and ultra-fast SSDs. In general, Intel talks about an increase in IPC Rocket Lake-S by 19% compared to its predecessors. The date of appearance of new products of the Rocket Lake-S line on sale has not yet been named.
