Intel's Benchmark of a Rocket Lake-S vs. an AMD Ryzen in Gaming

We know that Intel will finally release the Rocket Lake-S during the second quarter of this year. The company has shown the performance of these processors in gaming. Specifically we see the benchmark of a Intel Rocket Lake-S processorapparently 8-core competing with the 9-core AMD Ryzen 5900 12X. We can see that the Intel processor in gaming manages to beat the AMD processor.

Rocket Lake-S processors are based on Cypress Cove @ 14nm cores. These cores are an import of the Sunny Cove @ 10nm cores for Tiger Lake-U / H processors. Being an architecture imported to a larger node, there is a loss of cores to control the temperature.

Benchmark Intel Rocket Lake-S against an AMD Ryzen processor

We must take this benchmark in its correct context. Intel processors tend to have higher clock rates than AMD Ryzen processors, hence the small difference in FPS. Many games use only one core, so the higher the frequency, the better the performance.

Although no data is given about which processors have been used, we can get an idea. The 12-core AMD Ryzen is the Ryzen 9 5900X, as confirmed by the Intel Gaming account on Twitter. On the Intel processor, it seems obvious that it is the Core i9-11900K.

Both processors use an NVIDIA RTX 3080 graphics card to power the Metro Exodus. The Intel processor offers 156.54FPS, while the AMD one stays at 147.43FPS.

Regarding the rest of the data, there is nothing that draws special attention. They will have 20 PCIe 4.0 lanes natively and USB 3.2 Gen2x2 (20G). New overclocking capabilities, new chipset and new Intel Xe integrated graphics are highlighted. Also, they will be compatible with Intel 400 Series chipset motherboards.
