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.

If you're aiming to be more than a clickbait feed, vet your news or add information to make it more useful. Otherwise this sort of criticism will keep flying around and for good reasons. Adding 'allegedly' doesn't really change that IMHO. This is where your value could be and where the news section could become more valuable and especially credible. It will also steer the discussion in comments under it in a much better way because we won't get stuck in these minutia but will actually be able to judge things for what they are and discuss thát.
News sections on tech sites are at a serious risk of becoming glorified PR channels without company branding otherwise... and this will nuke their value then and there. There's a good reason I'm always commenting on those stories with some sort of sarcasm or joke. Its this very reason - you just can't take it seriously most of the time.

This guy is convinced he got three CPUs faulty in a row (having only used boards from ASUS incidentally) which not only sounds impossible but if I were to believe so many CPUs are DOA or dying within weeks then what does that mean ? That almost nobody is getting working CPUs ? You need to open your eyes and come back to Earth.And I am also amazed you literally tried to do the same by posting this.
If this was happening with Intel... But when it's AMD is always "no evidencie, conflicting reports, CPUs are fine" even tho most dont even own One or have any experience with One.
Must be fun to buy a CPU and RMA it, waiting a month for a new One,and maybe get lucky to get a good sample.
These two companies fighting each other for the performance crown is like how I remember it decades ago. YAY! The consumer wins!!!
It's because you sound like one.
Looking at these numbers a lot of people will think Rocket Lake is a big improvement. But the leaked gaming results show that it is hardly better than Comet Lake. I wish people would stop using Geekbench. It doesn’t give an accurate picture of what a processor is capable in real life workloads.
Get a life and kill that social media addiction already - not just you, but in general. Circlejerk frantic clicking doesn't make something true, it only serves to reinforce stupidity and somehow make it credible... because everyone's opinion apparently matters when all filters are gone.
Guess what, the vast majority of opinions are just BS - so that is what Big Data cultivates. Bull.Shit.
All the other rampant complains on that tweet and other fóruns are not deleted thoTalking about addiction? Look at your average posts per day... You live here :D
This is just bullshit. Big retailer that got way more CPU than this company would have raised a comments. Review bellow article would also be bombed Reddit would be full of rage, etc..
Nothing like that happened.
If you ignore that stupid tweet that got deleted, there are 0 evidence of that happening.
Could you guess what separate between 35W 11900T and 125W 11700K? Is it guaranteed that "higher price" 11900T perform better than 11700K? I bet they have 11700T in the making.
I'm not a fan boy for the most part, but he is already pissed at Apple and I'm sure he is not too pleased with AMD either. I'm watching for another Conroe.
Don't get me wrong, I like my AMD, but I have a feeling things are going to get uncomfortable for them soon..
