hey we're at ces 2021 and so are you
and it looks like intel has just teased
its rocket lake
s cpu at ces 2021
and the company shared some gaming
benchmark sessions now rocket lake will
be the company's first pcie 4.0
mainstream platform
and will represent a major step from the
countless iterations
of skylake now according to our sources
the platform is expected to launch
in march of this year but before that we
have some gaming performance numbers to
share
now rocket lake cpu the core i9 11900k
officially is an absolute beast it is in
itself an eight core affair
but not only does it go toe-to-toe with
amd's latest generation ryzen 9
5900 x 12 core gaming processor and
gaming performance
but according to this it actually beats
it but as with all first party
benchmarks we urge you to take these
with a grain of salt
until independent testing is out but
what is happening here isn't surprising
now gaming is highly clock rate
dependent and in terms of performance
and
intel's 14 nanometer being now extremely
mature platform
it can clock upwards of 5.3 gigahertz
the gaming benchmarks
which intel covered include total war 3
kingdoms
years of war 5 metro exodus cyberpunk
2077
watchdogs legions far cry new dawn and
assassin's creed valhalla
all games were tested at the 1080p
graphics settings
to truly test the capabilities of the
cpu and make it the primary bottleneck
the difference in performance ranges
from eight in total war
to two percent in assassin's creed
valhalla on an aggregate basis
intel core's i9 11900k is 4.4
faster than amd's ryzen 9 5900x
and the company then proceeded to show
the generational leap that rocket lake
brings when compared to the older
generations of core
i9 10 900k processor which is still
based on the skylake architecture
now while the former flagship scores 129
frames per second in hitman 3
the core i9 11 900 k scores upwards to
140 frames per second
on an average basis the difference in
gaming generation over generation
is roughly seven percent according to
intel's own test
now the company also then proceeded to
show off a demo of cyberpunk 2077
running on the rocket lake s platform
while coupled with an nvidia rtx 3080
while no performance numbers were given
the game seemed to be running fairly
smooth on the stream
now if you watched the previous video
that we had up that showed this actually
playing
our gentleman uzman was recording it and
obs caused some skipping so it wasn't
actually
in the gameplay so if you saw that there
and had comments on it
you know it is what it is but it is
important to note here that rocket lake
s
features direct access to the ssd and
the gpu using pcie 4.0
which is shaping up to be an incredibly
important feature for the future of
gaming
now games are already designed with
asset streaming tech
and this will be a must-have feature for
high-end gamers
