Something to look forward to: By some early standards, Intel’s eleventh generation is beating their predecessors and waging a good fight against their competitors. It is safe to say that it will be some prestigious processors.
Over the past few days, a number of i9-11900K, i7-11700K and i5-11500 Geekbench scores have appeared on the scene. Intel’s flagship gets lost in the battle of the leaderboard. Although difficult to see, the 11900K only seems to be beaten by processors using a different operating system or using an extreme overclock.
To frame the scene, a Ryzen R9 5950X usually gets 1682 points in the single-core test, and the 10900K, 1402. The upcoming 11900K has 1892, a generation jump of 35% and a lead of 12% on the Ryzen- Share. The 11700K was just a hair behind, with four counts at about 1810.
As already mentioned, Intel’s upcoming Core i7 and i9 processors will only be an 8-core issue, so their multi-core scores are not great, but it’s good for the core count. The 11900K got 10934, while the 11700K ranged from 10639 to 11287. AMD’s octa-core 5800X is slightly behind with 10426 points, while the current 10-core 10900K lands in between with 10930 points.
The concern is that the eight core points of the 11900K may fall behind the ten of the 10900K. The good news (though it sounds silly) is that these results say that the 11900K will be better in all respects than the 10900K, as a successor should be. But … all the good performance can be soured by a high price, according to information from this past weekend.
More attractive could be the 11700K. It looks like it will be cheaper and faster than the 10900K. And compared to the 11900K, it should be significantly more affordable and almost as powerful – during the tests, the 11700K ran at 5 GHz, an insignificant notch of the 5,300 GHz of the 11900K. Nothing that overclocked a bit would work out anyway.
The points of the i5-11500 and i5-11400 are rounded off by the tail of the series. Both are parts with 6 core and 12 wires. The former ran at 4.6 GHz and the latter at 4.4 GHz. The 11500’s single-core count of 1588 was 35% above its predecessor, while the multi-core count was 20% higher. The 11400 scores were 10% higher than the 10400s.
At the reported prices of $ 240 and $ 225, these two slides should be pretty interesting. However, if they are higher, they will pull out at the 5600X, which is already faster than both.
