Intel Core i9-11900 isup to 25% slower than Ryzen 5800X according to CPU-Z. With a base frequency of 3.8GHz and a turbo speed of 4.4GHz, the next Intel Core i9-11900 8-core, 16-wire processor, was shown in the CPU-Z software.
Intel Core i9-11900 is up to 25% slower than Ryzen 5800X in CPU-Z
First of all, it is important to clarify that this is an engineering sample, so the final speeds may vary, especially taking into account the turbo frequency seen. Anyway, Intel Core i9-11900 obtained a score of 582.1 in single-core CPU-Z tests, while it managed to reach 5262 points in multi-core.
By way of comparison, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, also with 8 cores and 16 wires, achieves 650 and 6593 points respectively. In other words, AMD’s CPU is 11.6% faster than i9-11900 on a single core and 25.25% higher in multi-core performance.
Without mentioning any numbers, suffice it to say that Intel Core i9-11900 matches i9-10900K in single-threaded testing, and almost matches i7-10700K in multi-core testing. As expected, this chip is no match for its 125W brother, i9-11900K, in multi-core testing.
The good news is that the processor was tested on an MSI Z490I motherboard, so backward compatibility with existing 400 series boards can be considered officially confirmed. The new chips will come along with the 500 series motherboards, as already revealed.
