The Intel Core i7-11700K loses out to the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X in a big way in early Geekbench single-core and multi-core benchmarks

[Redaktion]

The Intel Core i7-11700K has appeared on Geekbench 5 to showcase its single-core and multi-core performance. The eight-core processor cannot match the single-core performance of the AMD Ryzen 7 5800X and even falls behind the multi-core performance of the Ryzen 5 5600X, AMD's latest six-core processor.

I wouldn't have a problem with this if they priced it right, but knowing intel they probably won't. I'd be pleasantly surprised if I was wrong though

"The Core i9-11900K has been seen nearly hitting 11,000 points mind you, but we doubt that the Core i7-11700K will match that. "

so, looks like the Core i9-11900K will be the one to get.  Intel has a lot of 14nm capacity, so little it should be readily available.

Intel's q4 earnings slide listed Rocket Lake status as "shipping".  Was that just an error in the slide?  I haven't seen an article mentioning that.
