Intel Core i9-11900K sample goes through benchmark battery including Cinebench R20 and CPU-Z but PCIe issues force it behind an i9-10900KF in gaming tests

The Rocket Lake-S flagship processor Intel Core i9-11900K has been put through a whole battery of benchmarks by YouTuber ChaoWanKe. The i9-11900K once again produced incredible single-thread results in CPU-Z, but it could not excel during gaming tests because of an issue with subpar PCIe connection.

Please, name some of these games that only use a single core Intel.  Are they from the '90s?

Even CS GO runs faster on AMD. Haven't seen any single-core game for a long time already. And +1% "win" at single-core CB20, consuming tons more of power is just laughable.
