That Intel is going to place first in the Mainstream range of CPUs ahead of AMD does not seem to be a secret. Although the leaks have had their pluses and minuses due to the already mentioned Gears, the reality is that, for now, everything seems to indicate that the top of the range of the LGA 1200 socket, the i9-11900K, is going to wipe out everything seen up to now. At least in the performance of a core, because the latest leak reveals that it has managed to overcome the barrier of 700 points in CPU-Z.
If you are waiting to buy a gaming PC you may be in luck, since it seems that the war between Intel and AMD is raging. Zen 3 has removed the foundations of Intel's headquarters, but the Blues are going to fight back with the first accurate blow in years after their (finally) architectural leap. Apparently, the new i9-11900K is going to set a hard-to-beat precedent for the company with Alder Lake-S in the future, as performance has skyrocketed.
CPU-Z sets new single-core record thanks to i9-11900K
It is hard to believe, but for some time now we have gone from being surprised with a performance above 600 points to achieving no less than 716 with this new i9-11900K, Intel's flagship for Z590 and a direct competitor of the Ryzen from AMD.
What is filtered and validated by the CPU-Z itself leaves no room for doubt, it destroys its predecessor and marks a performance GAP with this and the rest of Intel CPUs that had not been seen since Core 2, there is nothing.
In addition, the 716 points in single-core obtained are with the microcode 0x2C, so we are facing a performance that will be improved as data that runs on the web with microcodes and newer BIOS versions has already shown, where the performance has another small push.
Neither cheat nor cardboard, Intel breaks new ground with AMD
It is true that this i9-11900K will not be able to beat, far from it, the Ryzen 9 5900X and Ryzen 9 5950X in multicore, mainly because it gets 8 cores and 16 threads compared to 12/24 and 16/32 of its rivals of range, but it is not intended.
We are talking about the mainstream range, which is focused on gaming and not on editing or rendering, so Intel is refocusing on this market niche and with this, it seems that it will be able to surpass AMD in the star platform of gamers. CPU-Z also reveals that there is no possible overclock in the validation, its cores being at 4.7 GHz and surprisingly using a TeamGroup UD4 DDR4-3200 14-14-14-32 1T memory with Gear 1.
As if that were not enough, they also seem to have neutralized the difference in performance to the same cores and threads compared to AMD, since the Ryzen 7 5800X with 8 cores and 16 threads achieves in CPU-Z multicore 6593 points for the 6539 of this new i9- 11900K, a score that should improve somewhat with the new batch microcode that Intel seems to be debugging and that is arriving as the release date approaches in successive BIOSes.
Now it remains to be known whether, indeed, this difference in performance to a core of this i9-11900K in CPU-Z is transferred to a real difference in gaming, since the majority buyer of this platform seeks to squeeze every last FPS from its GPU And above all, at what price will this i9-11900K if it finally manages to outperform the entire range of AMD CPUs in this sector.
