Intel Core i5-11600K falls flat against the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X on Geekbench

[Redaktion]

Intel's upcoming Core i5-11600K Rocket Lake-S CPU just showed up on Geekbench. Its single and multi-core scores of 1,565 and 6,220 might seem a tad disappointing compared to the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X, but we can attribute it to the test bench running slow RAM clocked at 2,133MHz.

Your comments about slow RAM make no sense. Ryzen is just as sensitive, if not more to slow RAM. That is, unless they were run on seperate test benches.

1. Don't trust geekbench
2. the ryzen 5 and i5 are not even in the same price range

The thing is that the ryzen in the benchmarks are running faster ram. We would need to see it's numbers with the slower ram to compare it.
