Earlier this month, we shared some official gaming benchmarks between the Intel Rocket Lake-S Core i9 11900K and the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X. And today, some new gaming benchmarks have been leaked by a Chinese TechTuber.
Intel has claimed that the Core i9 11900K is around 8% faster than the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X. And, from the looks of it, owners of 10900K CPUs have nothing to worry about.
Now in case you didn’t know, the Intel Core i9 11900K will feature 8 cores and will support 16 threads. On the other hand, the Intel Core i9 10900K has 10 cores and supports 20 threads. For the following gaming benchmarks, the TechTuber overclocked both CPUs at 5.2Ghz. Moreover, he used a QS chip which should be close to the retail unit.
As we can see, the Intel Core i9 11900K is slightly faster in some of the games. However, this upcoming CPU is also slower in some other games.
From what we can see, the Intel Core i9 11900K performs slower, than the Core i9 10900 in Cyberpunk 2077, Shadow of the Tomb Rader. Cyberpunk 2077 can be a really heavy-CPU game (with High crowd), and eight cores may simply not be enough, even for gaming at 1080p. Our Intel i9 9900K was also maxed out when playing it at lower resolutions. As such, these results do not really shock us as – in its current state – the game needs a lot of CPU power. Similarly, Shadow of the Tomb Raider benefits from CPUs that have a lot of CPU cores/threads.
Below you can find these first leaked gaming benchmarks.

Ah well. 9900K is the sweet spot. AMD builds lately are killing me. I’ve done 6 in the last 2 months and none of them have been straight forward, and some are a complete nightmare. Never been like that but the 5000 series Ryzens have been sh|t. Had a 5800 new in box dead on arrival yesterday, customer had to go get a new one but luckily there was a new one in stock at Microcenter. Otherwise the needing an old CPU to use a newer CPU situation and bios flash is a mess.
What was the problem with AMD builds?
Last one was a DOA CPU. Previously, no display with a 5900X and I spent all night with it. Worked with the old one, BIOS was the newest with “new cpu support” (post Nov 5th) and nothing. Worked with a 3600 though. But no boot. Spent all night on it, until the next morning it just started working. Wtf. The needing of an old CPU is understandable, but newer boards don’t go back past 3000 series, meaning I had to go buy a new 3000 series CPU when I had a 2nd gen that should have been able to be supported, ya know, since it’s the same damn AM4 slot.
If it’s just your one build for yourself, you’re not going to experience the range of different negatives like I would. And also, AMD isn’t the budget option anymore. One can get a perfectly fine i5 for less and have just as good of a gaming experience. And… the build is so much more straightforward.
you do realize on most decent boards you can flash to the latest bios without even having a CPU installed right? I understand some boards do not come with that feature, but thats the board makers fault not AMD.

Calm down Billy.
For what it’s worth, my i7 4790 CPU is still going strong, paired with an RX 480 GPU. More than enough for my gaming needs, since I’m not a hardcore Gamer, and I mostly play OLD PC games, with some exceptions of new AAA/AA titles.
But mostly First-person shooters/TPP. And, for 1080p/60Hz screen, this setup does the job somehow ! I don’t OC yet, so that non-K CPU is okay for now.
But I might upgrade when Alder lake-S CPU lineup comes out, or maybe AMD’s next-gen Zen 4 chips as well, depending on how much money’s worth are these new CPU families. Btw, AMD builds are also okay.
It appears you migth have got a bad streak of luck with AMD setups. Though, this has been kind of a mixed bag, since some users never faced any issue with AMD cards/CPUs, whereas others are in the same boat as you !
16 cores? Damn. And I’ve communicated with people in forums that are AMD builds and there’s no shortage of people having weird issues. Not that there isn’t about other computer related things, but still, it’s surely worse than those.
Seeing how last night the brand new 5800X was dead because I simply removed it and put in the replacement and it worked, that assures me I’m not crazy, lol. Something going on there. I know it!
4th gen Core CPUs are awesome. My 4th gen dell XPS workstation still is my daily driver and plenty capable of gaming, but it’s more for just work internet and media server.
Yup, but I think initially only 8 cores are going to be HIGH performing cores, if Intel’s little.BIG-esque architecture is anything to go by.
It’s like having 8 small cores + 8 Big cores, lol.
Though, they can also be used in tandem, provided the OS scheduler sees it as an 16 cores CPU. This is the most important aspect and area where INTEL needs to invest. Windows 10 OS scheduling !
If the OS is unable to share or distribute the CPU workloads, then Alder Lake migth not perform on the DESKTOP as expected. But this remains to be seen. Hard to comment on the technical aspect of this new LGA 1700 socket platform.

“Cyberpunk 2077 can be a really heavy-CPU game (with High crowd), and eight cores may simply not be enough, even for gaming at 1080p” – I am playing Cyberpunk with a 5600x in 1080p with crowd setting at High and I am having no problems whatsoever.
The more i read about this cpu – the more half-baked it seems. Will be short-lived either way and replaced by Alder Lake who could potentially become their response to the later ryzens but i wont hold my breath considering how many blunders intel have done – dropping the ball almost every time as of late.
