Intel might not be offering the insane multi-threaded performance that AMD's Ryzen 5000 CPUs have to offer but they are coming back with a vengeance in the single-threaded segment with the leaked benchmarks of the 8 Core Rocket Lake Core i9-11900K showcasing a massive performance improvement that would be enough for them to reclaim their fastest gaming CPU throne.
Intel's Core i9-11900K 8 Core Flagship CPU Benchmark Leaks Out, Rocket Lake Faster Than AMD's Zen 3 'Ryzen 5000' in Single-Core Performance
The Intel Core i9-11900K is the flagship chip within the 11th Gen Rocket Lake Desktop CPU family. It will be the first family after Skylake to make use of a brand new core architecture while still utilizing the 14nm process node. The new Cypress Cove architecture is said to deliver double-digit gains in IPC which should be enough to put Intel back in the single-core performance throne since AMD and it's Zen 3 lineup completely destroyed Intel's Comet Lake CPUs in that department.
