If all goes well, Intel will probably release the Rocket Lake-S processor in March next year. As the release time approaches, the frequency of its appearance in various test databases is getting higher and higher, and the most recent ones appear with official The sample of the trade name is not an early engineering sample. The Core i7-11700K only appeared in the GeekBench database some time ago, and now the Core i9-11900K also appears in the database of Ashes of the Singularity.

This was discovered by Twitter user @TUM_APISAK. Like the previous Core i7-11700K, Core i9-11900K has 8 cores and 16 threads. The base frequency of the former is 3.4GHz and the core frequency is 5GHz, while Core i9-11900K The basic frequency is 3.5GHz, and the turbo frequency is temporarily unknown, but it is certain that it will be higher than 5GHz, and may reach 5.5GHz according to previous news.

Compared with the current Core i9-10900K with 10 cores and 20 threads, Core i9-11900K has fewer core threads, but due to the upgrade of the core architecture from Skylake to Cypress Cove, IPC will have a double-digit improvement.

The overall performance, especially the game, will be much better than the current 10th generation Core. From the test results of Ashes of the Singularity, it is 62.7fps at 1440p resolution and 64.7fps at 1080p, both of which are run under Crazy settings.

However, the following will reply to the result that Ryzen 9 5950X can run 71.9fps under the 1080p Crazy setting. Of course, Ashes of the Singularity is a DX12 real-time strategy game, which eats CPU multi-threading performance. It is in other games. The performance may not be the case.

Regarding Rocket Lake, Intel itself also released destructural analysis before, which is probably a mixture of Ice Lake's CPU core and Tiger Lake's Xe core display, and the process has changed from 10nm to 14nm.

Of course, IPC still has a double-digit improvement compared to Skylake. The new generation of processors will support PCI-E 4.0, and the number of PCI-E channels provided by the CPU has been increased to 20, which can be divided into an M.2 interface directly connected to the CPU, and the performance of the Xe core display will be better than the current one. Gen 9.5 core display performance has increased by 50%.

PL1 is 125W, PL2 is 250W, and Tau time is 56 seconds. These are the same as the current Comet Lake.
