AotS Benchmarks have started to appear featuring Intel’s upcoming Core i9-11900K “Rocket Lake” processor. It will come with 8-core/16-threads operating at speed of 3.5GHz, and support PCIE 4.0.
Taken from TPU … An alleged Ashes of the Singularity (AotS) benchmark results page for the top 11th Gen Core “Rocket Lake” processor leaked to the web courtesy TUM_APISAK. It’s official now that Intel will keep its lengthy processor model number schemes, with the top part being the Core i9-11900K, a successor to the i9-10900K. It also confirms that the “Rocket Lake” silicon caps out at 8-core/16-thread, with performance on virtue of the IPC gains from the new “Cypress Cove” CPU cores.”Cypress Cove” is believed to be a back-port of “Willow Cove” to the 14 nm silicon fabrication process that “Rocket Lake-S” is built on.
The screenshot also confirms the nominal clocks (base frequency) of the i9-11900K to be 3.50 GHz, as Intel tends to put base frequency in the name-string of its processors. Paired with a GeForce RTX 3080 and 32 GB of RAM, the i9-11900K-powered machine yielded 62.7 FPS CPU frame-rate at 1440p resolution, and 64.7 FPS CPU frame-rate at 1080p (a mere 3.18% drop in frame-rates from the increase in resolution). These numbers put the i9-11900K in the same league as the Ryzen 7 5800X in CPU frame-rates tested under similar conditions.
