Flagship Intel Core i9-11900K overclocked to 5.3 GHz and was the fastest processor in a single-threaded Geekbench test

The results of performance tests of the next engineering sample of the Intel Core i9-11900K processor appeared in the Geekbench database. The chip belongs to the upcoming 11th generation of Core processors, the Rocket Lake-S family, which is expected to be released before the end of the first quarter of this year. The published data show that the flagship of the future series has a very high overclocking potential.

Despite the fewer physical and virtual cores, the Core i9-11900K was able to demonstrate the same level of multi-threaded performance as the current flagship 10-core and 16-thread Core i9-10900K in the indicated benchmark. And in terms of single-threaded performance, the new product turned out to be even faster.

Intel's upcoming flagship processor was tested in the Gigabyte Z490 AORUS Master motherboard. During the tests, the clock speed indicator of the novelty was only slightly below 5.3 GHz. It is very likely that Intel Thermal Velocity Boost technology helped achieve this result.

As a result of a single-threaded test, the Core i9-11900K scored 1,892 points, making it the first in the list of the most productive processors, beating such competitor models as AMD Ryzen 9 5950X, Ryzen 9 5900X and AMD Ryzen 7 5800X in this indicator. The maximum results of the first, second and third in these tests are 1682, 1664 and 1669 points, respectively. In the multi-threaded test, the Core i9-11900K naturally lagged behind the 16-core, 32-thread Ryzen 9 5950X and the 12-core, 24-thread Ryzen 9 5900X - the superiority of the latter in the number of available physical and virtual cores affected.

Also in the Geekbench database, a fresh test result was found for the eight-core model of the new generation Core i7-11700K in a company with a Colorful motherboard based on the fresh Intel Z590 chipset.

As a result of tests, the processor showed a frequency of 4.58 GHz and bypassed the current flagship Core i9-10900K in single-threaded performance, but yielded to it in multi-threaded performance.
