Intel Core i9-11900K, Core i7-11700K, and Core i5-11600K Specs Leak

by

Courtesy of a report from Videocardz, we have potential specifications today on Intel’s upcoming 11th Gen processors. it would appear that this slide came from and MSI presentation, showing default DDR4-3200 support across the board. TDPs are in line wth expectations at 125W for each processor. The base clocks range from 3.5GHz on the i9-11900K to 3.9GHz on the i5-11600K. The Coire i9-11900K Thermal Velocity Boost maxes out at 5.3GHz single core, 4.8GHz all core. Standard Turbot Boost caps out at 5.1GHz on the same chip. Head on over to read more.

Intel Core i9-11900KF Hits 98°C, 250W?

by

Based on an AIDA64 stress test screenshot over at Chiphell, the Intel Core i9-11900KF is potentially shaping up to be one hot, power hungry beast. It appears that this chip was tested, at “stock” settings, on an ASRock Z590 Steel Legend. They shows the FPU stress test running, which will certainly push the boundaries of any CPU when it comes to thermals as well as power draw. This test can easily push a simple Ryzen 5 5600X into the 80’s and 90’s depending on cooling type, but this Core i9-11900KF is purportedly cooled with a 360mm AIO. Head on over to see more.

Intel Core i5-11500 Rocket Lake-S Hits Geekbench

by

Courtesy of @leakbench, we have our first glimpse of the Geekbench performance of Intel’s upcoming Rocket Lake-S Core i5-11500. Single core performance comes in at 1588, while multi-core hits heights of 7265. This is a sizeable gain from the 10th Gen chips, with single core performance on this 6/12 models besting even the 8/16 Core i7-11700K that’s been tested. It still falls short of the Ryzen 5 5600X, though that task will be left for the 11600. We’ll see what happens come March when these chips are expected to officially launch.

Intel Alder Lake-S, 600 Series Chipsets in September?

by

Hot on the heels of the 500 Series, word has it that the upcoming Intel Alder Lake-S CPUs and their accompanying 600 Series chipsets are set to launch in September. This would fit the bill as a normal Fall launch window for new Intel chips to be sure, but it makes the Rocket Lake-S and 500 Series look less shiny and new. One benefit to 500 Series buyers is that the price premium for Alder Lake-S platforms could be massive. Rumored to come with PCIe 5, and support DDR5, these two factors alone will crank up the prices. Rocket Lake-S and the 500 Series may look all the better come this September. Lest we forget, AMD is likely not far being on either of these fronts.

Intel Alder Lake-S Spotted Supporting DDR5

by

A popular source for leaked information, momomo_us on Twitter has dropped a screengrab of Intel’s Alder Lake-S processor sporting DDR5, running SiSoftware’s SANDRA. While DDR5 is nearly upon us, it will be interesting to see the new chipsets that come along with these new processors from Intel and AMD in the next year. The other “fun” part will certainly be the price premium these new processors, motherboards and DDR5 modules will pull. It’s no secret we’re already dealing with mass shortages and ridiculous prices. Time will tell how this plays out. Until then, here are the scores.

Intel Core i7-11700K – Spotted w/Geekbench 5

by

One of Intel’s upcoming 11th Gen Rocket Lake-S chips, the Core i7-11700K, has been spotted in the Geekbench 5 database. These chips are expected to debut shortly after the new year, so it hopefully won’t be much longer before we get more details on performance. Looking at this Geekbench 5 score, we see the Core i7-11700K besting AMD’s Ryzen 9 5950X (1672) in single core performance. We know Intel is bringing IPC gains to these new chips, just as AMD did with Zen 3. It looks, from this result, like they may leapfrog AMD again to take the single core crown. Time will tell. Until then, here’s what we have:

Intel 11th Gen Core i9-11900 – Bench Test w/B560 Board

by

The 11900 engineering sample was run under several benchmarks including Cinebench R15, R20, and power consumption tests with AIDA64 with the AVX2 and AVX-512 (AVX3) instruction sets.

For Cinebench R15, the Core i9-11900 (ES) scored 217 in the single-threaded test and 1929 in the multi-threaded test. That’s a similar result to a Core i9 9900K from a few years ago. In Cinebench R20 the 11900 scored 529 points for the single-threaded benchmark and 4683 in the multi-threaded test.

Intel 11th Gen TDPs – 65W/125W?

by

Purported TDPs for the Intel 11th Gen “Rocket Lake-S” processors have surfaced in the always reliable realm that is Twitter. Right now, we’re seeing a listing of parts from all 3 Core-iX lines showing expected TDPs of either 65W or 125W. The unlocked K / KF models are all showing a reported, but believable, 125W TDP rating with the remainder hitting 65W. Time will tell how accurate these reports are.

Core i9-11900K – 125W
Core i9-11900 – 65W
Core i9-11900F – 65W
Core i7-11700K – 125W
Core i7-11700KF – 125W
Core i7-11700 – 65W
Core i7-11700F – 65W
Core i5-11600K – 125W
Core i5-11600KF – 125W
Core i5-11400 – 65W
Core i5-11400F – 65W

Intel Core i9-11900 and i9-11900K – 12% IPC Gain?

by

Benchmark numbers of an upcoming Intel Core i9-11900 (non-K) and i9-11900K processor engineering samples allegedly obtained on CPU-Z Bench reveal that the chip will deliver on the company’s “double-digit IPC gain” promise for the “Rocket Lake” microarchitecture. The i9-11900 (non-K) sample posted a single-threaded performance score of 582 points, while the i9-11900K ES posted 597 points, which are roughly 12% higher than typical CPU-Z Bench single-thread numbers for the current-gen i9-10900 (non-K) and i9-10900K “Comet Lake-S” processors.

MSI MEG Z490 Unify, Core i9-10900K & RTX 3080/3090 SUPRIM X

by

I was quite impressed with the entire MSI Z490 Unify + Intel Core i9-10900K setup, but most of all with the all-MSI system. In what started out with just the motherboard, turned into a full MSI system that I will continue to use for articles on 8K gaming battles against AMD’s just-released Zen 3-powered Ryzen 9 5900X processor.

MSI’s entire system ran nice and cool throughout my weeks of testing, with enough (but quiet) airflow keeping the very hot components (the Core i9-10900K isn’t a cool-running chip) and neither are the GeForce RTX 3090 and GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards when they’re overclocked to the max.
