Intel Showcases 11th Gen Core Rocket Lake-S CPU vs Undisclosed 12-core AMD Ryzen, Boasts of Higher Average Framerates
Intel has apparently taken the CES opportunity to showcase its upcoming Rocket Lake-S CPU in gaming against one of AMD's best mainstream CPUs, packing 12 cores - although the specific model remains undisclosed. Geeknetics shared screen-grabs from the demo, done inside Metro Exodus, where the undisclosed Intel 8-core Rocket Lake-S is shown achieving higher average frame-rates compared to the AMD solution (an average of 156.54 FPS for Intel, against 147.43 FPS for AMD). The CPUs were paired with an NVIDIA RTX 3080 graphics card - and in case you're wondering whether NVIDIA's Resizable BAR capabilities have been activated for this Rocket Lake-S system, no information on that was available at time of writing (the question is raised since Intel has already announced support for the feature with NVIDIA GPUs on Tiger Lake-H).Still regarding Rocket Lake-S, Intel presentation slides confirm that the new CPU architecture offers full 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes coming from the CPU, and also a native 8-core complex design, alongside integrated Intel Xe-class graphics capabilities. Improved boost algorithms, memory controller, and added AI features have also been showcased for Rocket Lake-S.

intel new flagship looses to their OLD one? wow such inovation.
But hey, At least they are trying.
P.S. Zen 3 is on the same 7nm process as Zen 2, I have a feeling that soon after Rocket lake is released, we'll see AMD release a Zen3+/XT refresh on TSMC's 7nm+ process that will increase clocks by 100-300Mhz and retake the crown.
but uhh, I would not pay any money for it, rather get that AMD 12 core it supposedly beats.
[sarcasm]
1080p on Ultra is the only CPU benchmark we'll ever need for heavy multithreading, Geekbench can go to hell - they've tried nicely, but... Sometimes your best just isn't enough.
[sarcasm ends]
Yeah right. Many water chillers were abused to get that result, even though Intel doesn't care about benchmarks.
Go away... you've lost every shred of credibility years ago.
Dang AMD, you just got reked big time yo!!!!!!
Since pretty much no gpus anywhere this is a meh.
In addition, Intel also failed to disclosed that it takes the 11900K an astounding 250W to match a 5900X at 140W there about. That is a stunning 70+% increase in power consumption to beat competition by a low single digit percentage.
To give credit where credit is due, I feel Intel did a right step to backport Rocket Lake to 14nm. The current Skylake architecture is no longer competitive and certainly not able to go beyond the 5.x Ghz clockspeed. Good to finally see some IPC gains over the last 5 years. But as I mentioned a few times, neither Rocket Lake nor Alder Lake will give Intel the edge over AMD. While we don't have much information on the performance of the latter, but Intel's decision to "waste" die space on 4 low performing cores on a high performance CPU is unlikely to win them more sales, particularly to gamers.
