Intel’s current desktop processors (Comet Lake-S) are not convincing with their performance relative to the Ryzen 5000. For example, the flagship 10-core Core i9-10900K is inferior to the 12-core Ryzen 9 5900X at a higher clock speed. But judging by the data published by the source, Intel’s future Rocket Lake-S CPUs will hardly be able to compete with the AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs.
According to the user tests @OneRaichu who managed to get acquainted with the engineering sample of Intel Rocket Lake-S, the successor to the Core i9-10900K does not reach the 5.5 GHz frequency, as mentioned earlier. It operates at 5.3 GHz with one active core and 4.8 GHz with all active cores.
That is, its performance will be approximately at the level of the current Core i9-10900K, although, of course, some improvements will occur – if not due to the technical process (Rocket Lake-S will still be 14 nm), this is due to the architecture (Cypress Cove).
Also, the Twitter user Raichu was able to test an instance of Rocket Lake-S, operating at a frequency of 4.6-5.0 GHz. In the Cinebench benchmark, it earned 616 points in a single-threaded test and 5740 points in a multi-threaded one.
RKL-S not have 5.5Ghz SKU in default.
Only have 5.3Ghz ST and 4.8Ghz MT in I9 SKU~— Raichu (@OneRaichu) November 12, 2020
🤣I don't know the source of QS test,but I tested the ES1 of RKL-S.
It is got CBR20 616 ST score in 5.0 Ghz.
MT score is 5740 in 4.6Ghz~
CPU code=QV2B— Raichu (@OneRaichu) November 12, 2020
For comparison, the Core i9-10900K scores 539 and 6399 points in similar tests, while the Ryzen 9 5900X scores 637 and 7100 points, respectively. Of course, there is still a lot of time before the release of Rocket Lake-S and the performance will slightly increase, but even with this, it is extremely doubtful that Rocket Lake-S will be able to compete with the Ryzen 5000 Series CPUs.
In addition, some users also analyzed that although Intel’s next-generation processors may lose to AMD processors, compared with the current Intel Comet Lake-S processors, they found that Sunny Cove may bring an increase of 18% to 19%.
Again this makes sense.
CML at 5.1GHz gets around 525 in ST.
RKL(ES) at 5GHz gets 616. So roughly 19% boost.
10700 can clock 4.6ghz all core. In CB R20 MT it scores 4877. RKL(ES) gets 5740.
Comparing at 4.6ghz that is 17.6% gain.
Close to the 18% gains Sunny Cove brings.— Tex (@TEX_cs) November 12, 2020
