Intel Core i9-11900T "Rocket Lake" Processor Allegedly Catches Up with Zen 3 in Single-Threaded Performance
When AMD announced its Ryzen 5000 series of processors based on the new Zen 3 architecture, the performance of these processors was the best on the market. Even in our own testing, we have found that AMD's Zen 3 core is the highest performing core on the market, even beating Intel's latest and greatest, the 10th generation of Core processors. However, Intel has been doing some silent work and the company has developed a new core to be used in the 11th generation "Rocket Lake" platform. Codenamed Cypress Cove, the design is representing a backport of the 10 nm Sunny Cove design, supposed to bring around 19% IPC improvement across the board.
If you were wondering if that was enough to catch up with AMD's Zen 3 IPC performance, look no further because we have Geekbench 5 performance results of Intel's 35 Watt Core i9-11900T processor. Having a base frequency of only 1.51 GHz, the CPU is capable of boosting one or two cores to the very high speed of 4.9 GHz, giving us a good example of the single-threaded performance we can expect from this CPU. In GB5 tests, the Core i9-11900T has managed to score 1717 points in the single-threaded test and 8349 points in multi-threaded results. Comparing that to something like AMD Ryzen 5800X, which scores 1674 points in single-threaded results, Rocket Lake's Cypress Cove core has managed to be 2.5% faster than Zen 3. However, in multi-threaded results, the AMD chip is unmatched as the low TDP of the Intel processor is stopping it from reaching full performance.

Also AMD fórum os full of this same comlain. I linked it.They didnt tell About the sample, only odds like "each 100, 4 are faulty" etc
You guys can be on denial if you want. Not long for more retailers to complain about this issue that is mainly affecting new batches. There is even a thread showing the most problemstic ones. But whatever...

But I have interest in Intel being competitive, because we saw what happened when AMD took the lead: ridiculous prices for Zen 3.
If they keep fighting for the leadership, we customer will win.I can confirm that. My 5800X boost 4850 MHz
They do, however, tell you up front that the build fee is $150. How considerate. Assholes.

I don't understand though why there is no reaction to the reboots topic with 500+ posts on AMD's official forum.
I don't understand why there is no such topic in Intel's community.
I don't understand why we have 1000+ posts in overclock net topic if things are just fine.
I don't understand why we have 5 different AGESA versions in 3 months if there are no serious issues.
I don't understand how it is possible to get 2 defective CPUs in a row (hard reboots and BSODs on the 1st one, BSODs on the 2nd one)
1. Your "sources" are complete bullshit
2. The topic of this thread (way to completely hijack it, btw) is about Intel's Rocket Lake. This topic IS NOT about AMD nor some imaginary defect regarding Zen 3 that you pretty much pulled out of thin air, your ass, or both
3. Again, bullshit
4. OCN is a fucking forum. Just like TPU has a forum. People bitch and moan about problems they more than likely created themselves by tweaking shit they weren't supposed to, or knew the risks and fucking did it anyway because they're a special kind of stupid, and then wonder why their rig doesn't work anymore.
5. Still doesn't mean there are serious issues. People are free to choose to update their BIOS or not. Of course, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. And yet, they "fix" it anyway. Go figure.
6. Is this coming from your PERSONAL experience? Or from that shady-as-fuck "PC Builder" PowerGPU?
