Intel Core i7-11700K PassMark Score Surfaces: Trades Blows with Ryzen 7 5800X
Hot on the heels of its Geekbench score leak, we have PassMark numbers for the upcoming Core i7-11700K "Rocket Lake-S" desktop processor, leaked to the web. The PassMark online score database lists performance obtained from a single i7-11700K sample, where it's shown to be trading blows with the Ryzen 7 5800X (score averaged from over 600 samples). The Intel chip scores 3548 points single-thread rating, compared to 3509 (average) of the 5800X, while its multi-threaded score of 54255 points falls short of the 54458 points of the 5800X (average). Both these chips are 8-core/16-thread.
The Core i7-11700K has the same core configuration as the top i9-11900K part, but with lower rumored clock speeds. The Core i7 ticks at 3.60 GHz base, with up to 5.00 GHz boost, and the same 125 W TDP rating as its 10th Gen predecessor. The "Rocket Lake-S" desktop processor family sees Intel's first IPC uplift to the client-desktop platform in 5 years, on the backs of new "Cypress Cove" CPU cores. While we haven't seen evidence of core-counts above 8 for these processors, Intel's play will be to restore gaming performance leadership that it lost to AMD's Ryzen 5000 "Zen 3" processors. Plagued by scalping and limited availability to genuine customers, AMD stares at its performance leadership not translating into brand equity before Intel's next-gen parts flood the market.

I am not an amd or intel fan but its a fact i have been using intel and recommending intel to my clients for obvious reasons. I admit that amd has proven to be over intel yet this is a never ending fight for both.
If this benchmark is true when will these cpu's will be available for us ? and what about z590 chipsets and what is the major difference between z490 and z590 ?
there is a rumour of amd working on a new hybrid cpu socket to narrow the cpu to gpu vise versa gap. I dont know how it will benefit end user in daily driving tasks.
I mean if the price is lower then the 5800x sure, but I doubt it will be sooo who cares?
I guess being able to get one in the first place would be a win.
I doubt there is that much of a stock issue
on just Amazon Alone I’ve seen the 5800X and 5600X go listed almost every other day
B&H and Microcenter also being getting weekly drops
You just gotta pay attention. I
Remember seeing a post from AMD even stating they are sending out Zen 3 processors daily
And if we go by these "numbers" the Intel is clocked around 200mhz higher then the 5800x to score around the same in performance? Not that I know if 40 points is classed as a big difference or within margin of error?
Suck that I have everything ready for the new AM4 rig (full custom watercool) but not the CPU ~_~.
Compounded with far from ideal situation in GPU market, advice to wait is just solid in general anyways.
just an FYI
I’ve seen the 5900X go up on B&H just recently.
