Intel Core i9-11900 and i9-11900K (ES) Alleged CPU-Z Bench Numbers Reveal a 12% IPC Gain
Benchmark numbers of an upcoming Intel Core i9-11900 (non-K) and i9-11900K processor engineering samples allegedly obtained on CPU-Z Bench reveal that the chip will deliver on the company's "double-digit IPC gain" promise for the "Rocket Lake" microarchitecture. The i9-11900 (non-K) sample posted a single-threaded performance score of 582 points, while the i9-11900K ES posted 597 points, which are roughly 12% higher than typical CPU-Z Bench single-thread numbers for the current-gen i9-10900 (non-K) and i9-10900K "Comet Lake-S" processors. The multi-threaded score of the i9-11900 (non-K) ES, at 5262 points, ends up just around 5-10% lower than that of the i9-10900, despite a deficit of two cores. Intel's 11th Gen Core "Rocket Lake-S" story is hence shaping up to be that of increased gaming performance from the IPC gain, while roughly the same multi-threaded performance as the 10th Gen "Comet Lake-S."

so, umm.... where's the uplift?
11900 non K - Base, 1.8 Ghz, 3.8 GHz all core boost, 4.4 Ghz single core boost. 65w TDP 8/16 threads
11900K - Base, 3.8 Ghz, 4.8 Ghz all core boost, 5.3 Ghz single core boost. 125w TDP 8/16 threads
I can't see any other reason for them to exist, considering the drop from 10c to 8 on the top end part.
No one in their right mind would move from a10900K to an 11900K, what with the drop from 10 to 8, for productivity reasons.
