Intel during approximately 30 – one minute virtual conference CES 2021 presented mainly the new Tiger Lake-H processors 35 for ultra-slim gaming laptops with NVIDIA GeForce RTX cards 3000. There was also room for specifics about the Rocket Lake and Alder Lake desktop units. Both family of processors are expected to debut in 2021. Rocket Lake will go first, along with the top Intel Core i9 processor – 11900 K. During the presentation, Intel compared the chip to the AMD Ryzen 9 5900 X in Metro: Exodus. After the conference, however, more information about the new unit leaked into the network, so we share it immediately. Intel in the new presentation compared the performance of Core i9 – 11900 K to AMD Ryzen 9 5900 X. How is the clash of the flagships of both manufacturers?

Intel compared the performance of the Core i9 processor – 11900 K to AMD Ryzen 9 5900 X in several popular AAA games. Although the architecture of Cypress Cove prevails in each of them, the differences are at most a few percent.

Intel Tiger Lake-H 35 officially presented – processors for laptops with NVIDIA RTX 3000. New information about Rocket Lake-S

Intel has finally confirmed that the flagship processor from the Rocket Lake-S family – Core i9 – 11900 K – will be equipped with 8 cores and 16 threads. The maximum clock for one core is 5.3 GHz, while Turbo for all active cores is 4.8 GHz. Rocket Lake-S is the latest generation using 14 nm technological process. Instead of the Skylake architecture, however, we will get the newer Cypress Cove. It offers up to 19% higher IPC than the Skylake architecture, which is expected to translate into noticeably higher single-threaded performance.

Intel Core i9 processor – 11900 K will receive a 2-channel DDR4 memory controller 3200 MHz, advanced Intel UHD Graphics based on the Xe architecture (32 EU) and 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes, which can be used simultaneously for a graphics card and an SSD. In its latest presentation, Intel compared the performance of Core i9 – 11900 K to AMD Ryzen 9 5900 X in such titles as Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Metro Exodus, Watch Dogs: Legion or Total War: Three Kingdoms. The comparison was made using the NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics card 3080. Depending on the game, the differences range from 2 to 8 percent in favor of the top Intel unit. The smallest differences can be found in Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla (2%), while the largest in the Total War strategy (8%). The Intel Rocket Lake-S processors will be on sale in late March this year.
