When Intel i9 11900K benchmarks first leaked last year, we saw the upcoming flagship processor eclipse the frame rates of its predecessor in Ashes of the Singularity, but it fell short of AMD’s monster 32-thread Ryzen 9 5950X by around 11.1%. It might not be as clear cut as this, however, as new Geekbench 5 tests show that the 11900K actually outclasses AMD’s top gaming CPU by over 8% in single-core performance, despite faring up to 64% worse in multi-core scores.
It’s a mixed bag when comparing the forthcoming processor to the i9 10900K, too. While the 11900K sees a healthy 32% jump in single-core scores, as you’d expect from a generational leap, the 10900K still has the advantage in multi-core performance being an average of 5% better than its replacement.
Much like with Ashes of the Singularity, it’s worth noting that Geekbench isn’t exactly the best measurement of CPU performance. There are fewer tests to truly compare the average scores of a processor that isn’t available yet and is only expected to release in March, there could be outliers, and there’s no telling whether the benchmarks are running the base or boost clock, meaning the tests are far from scientific or representative of real-world performance
