Intel has shared some official benchmarks for the upcoming 11th Generation Rocket Lake S flagship CPU, the i9-11900K at CES 2021. And in the benchmarks, Intel’s ‘Rocket Lake S’ Core i9-11900k beats out AMD’s 5900X which has 50% more cores than the 8-core flagship Rocket Lake S CPU.
Rocket Lake will be Intel’s first PCIe 4.0 mainstream platform and will represent a major step up from the countless iterations of Skylake. Intel showed off several game benchmarks in its CES 2021 conference and the performance difference ranges from 2% to 8% depending upon the game title.
The gaming benchmarks which Intel revealed in their conference include Total War: Three Kingdoms, Gears of War 5, Metro Exodus, Cyberpunk 2077, Watchdogs: Legion, FarCry: New Dawn, and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. All games were tested on the 1080p graphics settings.

The Intel Rocket Lake-S lineup will feature the new Cypress cove cores and Intel Core i9-11900K will be the flagship 11th Gen Rocket Lake Desktop CPU. It will be an 8 core and 16 thread CPU having 16 MB of L3 cache and 4 MB of L2 cache. The i9-11900K has the same single-core boost clock of 5.3 GHz and the all-core boost will still be 4.8 GHz according to the leaked specifications.
The chip will also feature Thermal Velocity Boost which should deliver a 100 MHz jump in the max clock frequency. This should lead to a single-core boost clock of 5.3 GHz making it the first CPU to ever hit such a high frequency out of the box.
Intel also showed a performance gain compared to the previous generation flagship i9-10900K. The former flagship scores 129 frames per second in Hitman 3, whereas the Core i9-11900k scores up to 140 fps in the same benchmark.
Intel also showed off a demo of the i9-11900K running Cyberpunk 2077 paired with an RTX 3080. According to the known information, Intel plans to launch the 11th Generation Rocket Lake-S CPUs in March of 2021.
what are the fps’s in these games? + 8% doesn’t matter if they’re all unplayable.
These numbers were released by Intel themselves. We will have to wait for the official launch to see what frames the games are really running at.
