Benchmarking and frame-time capturing specialist CapFrameX has posted a single-threaded Cinebench R20 result purporting to be from one of Intel’s upcoming Rocket Lake CPUs. At 655 points it’s just marginally ahead of AMD’s new wonderchip, the Ryzen 9 5950X, which CapFrameX pegs at 649 points.
But there’s a catch. The Rocket Lake chip reportedly requires a clockspeed of 5.5GHz to achieve that score. The AMD Radeon R9 5950X has a maximum boost clock of just 4.9GHz, though in real-world testing can run a whisker over 5GHz. If the benchmark result and clockspeed are accurate, it shows just how far Intel is willing to go to regain the gaming performance crown.
